#3  Also from WORLD MIL FORUM > JAPAN CAN LOSE IFF A SINO-JAPAN MILITARY CONFLICT BROKE OUT OVER THE DAOYU ISLANDS. Japan's military focii is SELF-LIMITED BY LAW, ESPEC BY THE POST-WW2 JAPANESE CONSTITUTION. While operationally excellent, as a TOTAL/NATIONAL WAR ORGANIZ it is broadly too inflexible and rigid compared to CHINA + PLA. JAPAN is perceievd as being far behind the PLA in INDIGENOUS CORE SPACE, STRATEGIC MISSLE, + SATELLITE TECHS, MIL INFORMATION WARFARE, STEALTH, and ELECTRO-MAGNETIC = ANTI-AIRCRAFT RADARS. JAPAN STILL HOLD MAJOR QUALITATIVE ADVANTAGES IN NAVAL AND AIRCRAFT TYPES BUT CHINA IS CATCHING UP VERY FAST.

HMMMMMM, HMMMMM, unless I've missed something, WMF ARTICLE > China-Japan = Israel-Iran in WHOM WILL BE ABLE TO PREEMPTIVELY ATTACK FIRST.

NORTH KOREA [famine] versus SOUTH KOREA???

#4  ION WORLD MIL FORUM > CHINA HAS HEAVILY SPENT US$10.0MILYUHN TO ACQUIRE RUSSIAN ANTI-NAVAL/CARRIER ["Sand/Klub"] AND AIR SUPERIORITY COMBAT MISSLES, espec Russ ALCMS.

The Devil is the COPYKATTING = REVERSE-ENGINEERING!
