If China and Japan fight again, will China be able to win?
The picture of the bird finally hitting the pig reminds us that peace is hard to come by and should be cherished. However, we must not forget the pain of being invaded by foreign powers in China's modern history, and the most heart-wrenching is the Japanese invasion of China.
Whenever we recall this period of history, we feel indignant and want to take revenge with our own hands. So, if you go back to that time with the strength of the two countries today, who is stronger?
Let's take a look.
Figure 1) The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the 731 Unit Evidence Exhibition Hall of the Japanese Invasion of China, referred to as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It refers to the second world war in the middle of the 20th century, in which China resisted Japanese aggression in a nationwide all-out war, which is internationally known as the Second Sino-Japanese War.
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army suddenly attacked Shenyang and occupied Northeast China by force. The 918 Incident marked the beginning of the World Anti-Fascist War.
On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out. The Japanese army announced its unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945, and the signing ceremony of the surrender of the Japanese army in the Chinese theater was held in Nanjing.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were 35 million Chinese people and 1.93 million Japanese people. In the process of the Japanese invasion of China, there were tragic events such as the Nanjing Great, the Henan Huayuankou Embankment Burst, the Shanxi 928**, and the Changsha Fire.
Under the current situation of the strength of the two countries, who will achieve the final victory if China and Japan fight again? Next, let's take a look at the military strength and economic strength of both sides, and judge the level of Sino-Japanese combat strength in combination with various factors.
Economically, since the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly, and the market economy has become increasingly prosperous. In 2021, China's total GDP reached 1144 trillion yuan, an increase of 81%。
Japan's GDP was 5.1 trillion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 17%。For modern warfare, there is no such thing as a large-scale, protracted war. Therefore, the economic comparison between China and Japan is not a decisive factor in the success or failure of another Sino-Japanese war.
Figure 2) Comparison of military strength between China and Japan: China is among the top three in the world, with more than 300 naval vessels and submarines; Although Japan has five aircraft carriers, it can only be called *** aircraft carrier.
The Chinese Navy ** team docked and rested, let's take a look at the nuclear ** side. The United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and China are considered "nuclear powers," but although Japan does not have a stockpile of nuclear warheads, its nuclear missile research technology is very advanced, and it can develop usable nuclear warheads within a few months.
After World War II, Japan became a loyal ally of the United States, sharing it economically and militarily, and has changed the name of the Self-Defense Forces to the Self-Defense Forces, showing strong aggressive tendencies.
The current tensions between China and the United States have prompted Japan and the United States to strengthen military and economic cooperation. In the event of another war between China and Japan, the United States will intervene, and China and the United States will be in a state of hostility.
In contrast, China and Russia, as neighbors, are bitter and interdependent, so once the US military intervenes in the Sino-Japanese war, Russia will contain the US military in order to protect its own interests.
To sum up, another war between China and Japan may turn into a contest between the four countries.

If China and Japan go to war again, China's nuclear forces far surpass Japan's, and Japan will have nowhere to escape. Even in the event of a protracted war, China's existing economic system is sufficient to support the entire cost of the war, and even if the United States supports Japan, China will not be afraid.
China's strength should not be underestimated, and as long as the time comes to decide life and death, both countries will pay a huge price, or even die together. It has been said that although it is not known what will happen in the third world war, the fourth world war must be a contest of nuclear **, which means that in the face of real nuclear forces, the fate of mankind in the entire world will be seriously affected.
In short, China is no match for Japan, and I believe that if war breaks out between China and Japan again, China will certainly become the final victor. Although the Chinese love peace, they are by no means afraid of any aggression.
