If Japan sinks, what will happen to the hundreds of millions of refugees?
In this regard, many Japanese netizens expressed a similar opinion, believing that we do not need to worry too much. Assuming that our country really suffers a sinking situation, China should accept more than 100 million Japanese citizens!
Chinese netizens have expressed their opinions on this, if Japan does sink, do we have a responsibility to accept those homeless Japanese?
First of all, it is important to be clear that what Japan is facing is not a fictional scenario, but a reality that is happening. According to statistics, the Japanese archipelago is sinking at a rate of 13 centimeters per year due to the continuous rise in global temperatures and the large-scale melting of glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctica.
In the context of the current global warming, many coastal countries are facing the threat of sea level rise, including South Korea, Bangladesh, Bhutan, etc.
This poses a serious crisis for all coastal countries, and for Japan, which is surrounded by the sea, it is even more critical to the survival of the entire country.
However, the sea-level rise crisis facing Japan is embodied in the phenomenon of "inundation". Sea levels are rising due to rising global temperatures, and Japan, as a geographically located between the Eurasian and Pacific plates, has a high level of geological activity. It was only a matter of time before the Japanese archipelago inevitably slid towards the Mariana Trench in the northeastern Philippines and eventually disappeared into sea level and merged with the Mariana Trench under the influence of various geological forces.
This phenomenon has caused concern among many experts and people in Japan, who fear that if no action is taken, Japan will inevitably face homelessness and eventually end up in ruin.
One may wonder why the Japanese feel so urgent and anxious now, given that such drastic changes in geography generally take thousands of years.
This is because, in addition to the problem of sinking islands, Japan is also facing a variety of other natural disasters of great scale, which can be described as natural and man-made disasters. Whether it is **, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, or typhoon attacks, the frequency and scale of disasters are among the best in the world!
As one of the most frequent countries in the world, Japan is known as the "first country", and geological disasters, which are usually considered terrible, have become almost commonplace here.
There are three major belts in the world, namely the Pacific Rim Belt, the Ridge Belt and the Eurasian Belt. Japan, on the other hand, is geographically located in the core of the Pacific Rim Belt, so geological disasters are frequent.
As early as the Sui Dynasty in China, there were records showing that Japan was frequently affected by **. Nationwide, it happens more than 10,000 times a year, an average of more than 30 times a day, and those that can be felt happen more than 4 times a day.
With regard to those of magnitude 5 or higher that can cause serious damage, Japan has experienced more than 100 times in the past 100 years. In Japan's Tokyo metropolitan area, especially in the Tokyo area, there are more than 50 noticeable occurrences every year.
It can be said that Japan's reputation as the "best country" is not groundless. The whole country sits on an unstable crust, and due to frequent geological movements, natural resources are very limited here, with few obvious development advantages other than fishing.
If it is only the hindrance of development and the lack of materials, for Japan, it will bring an extremely heavy history of suffering to this country.
Not long ago, at the beginning of the 21st century, there was a super **, which almost sank the Japanese archipelago and almost destroyed the entire country.
Not only did the incident leave more than 200,000 Japanese displaced refugees and homeless, but it also triggered one of the worst nuclear accidents in modern times, and the affected areas are still severely affected today.
In addition to the ** itself, the tsunami caused by the movement of the earth's crust has also been a natural disaster that Japan has been facing for a long time, and even the English pronunciation of the word tsunami is directly adopted in Japanese, which shows the degree of frequent tsunamis in Japan.
In the 311 large**, Japan was hit by a huge tsunami of 23 meters. It is worth noting that the fatality rate of human beings in the face of a 1-meter-high tsunami can reach 100%.
The 23-metre-high tsunami knocked down all the houses that could withstand the waves, and even the viaduct was uprooted by the raging waves.
The waves carried huge debris such as houses and cars, and rushed towards the city center at a speed of 10 meters per second. Those who survived scrambled to shelters in the city center.
The tallest building in the city center is now insignificant and unable to withstand wave after wave of tsunamis. In the end, more than 50 citizens standing on the rooftop could not wait for help, and all of them were unfortunately killed.
More importantly, the horror of the tsunami lies not only in the enormous wave of the tsunami itself, but also in the cascading catastrophes it causes.
The surging high-speed waves, carrying huge kinetic energy, overturned dozens of large tanker ships moored in the port one by one, causing a large amount of heavy oil to leak. Cars, gas canisters and other items entrained by the waves produce sparks in the collision, spontaneously combust and trigger **, igniting the heavy oil on the sea surface.
The fire quickly spread through the flooded city, and the fire was even more intense considering that most of the houses in Japan were made of wood.
In the end, the Japanese city destroyed by the 311 tsunami was completely reduced to purgatory on earth, and countless civilians struggled in agony in the raging sea, forming a 3-kilometer-long sea of fire.
Seeing all this, I believe most people can understand why the Japanese are so afraid of natural disasters. They may not have to worry about the archipelago sinking every year, but the various types of natural disasters keep them on the lookout. After all, since the 311 incident, no one can predict whether there will be a larger-scale **tsunami hitting Japan.
As a result, many Japanese people have begun to discuss and plan what to do with the 1.3 billion Japanese if future natural disasters really destroy Japan.
In the last century, the Japanese have already begun to plan for this. By waging a war vigorously, they are trying to occupy large swathes of Asia, including the northeast of our country, in order to prepare for their own future.
The Japanese believe that as a developed country, they have made great progress in the field of science and technology. If we agree to accept them, we will benefit greatly from all fields, and with Japan's development experience and support, all walks of life will be strongly supported.
There are many people who feel that although the 1.3 billion Japanese seem to be a lot, they used to be crammed into an island of less than 400,000 square kilometers and would not occupy much of our land, so there is no reason for us to refuse to accept them.
This point of view is supported by the majority of young Japanese people, but in my country, there are also many netizens who have put forward completely different opinions. A part of the population firmly expressed their opposition.
First of all, the migration of more than 100 million Japanese to our country is not a trivial matter that can be accomplished in a short period of time, and problems such as ethnic integration and conflict will inevitably arise during this period.
And, until now, Japan has not acknowledged the crimes it committed against our people, has remained silent about its past mistakes, and has even tried to cover up that history.
Under such circumstances, how could we possibly come to Japan's aid? Even if this is done, the unresolved contradictions between the two peoples will inevitably lead to even greater disasters.
In addition, from an academic point of view, the views of Japanese netizens may be too wishful thinking.
From the perspective of both sea level and continental shelf, Japan and Japan are adjacent to each other. If Japan really suffers a disaster that caused the sinking of the archipelago, Japan's coastal areas may also be hit hard.
At that time, the main focus of our disaster relief will be on the coastal areas, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to free up our hands to help the Japanese.
In fact, from a macro perspective, Japan is a "barrier" for China to resist natural disasters, helping China block a large number of natural disasters such as typhoons and **. If Japan really loses this function, the impact on our country will not be negligible.
In addition to ** and tsunamis, Japan is also one of the countries with the most volcanoes, the most widespread and the most active in the world. The country is home to a quarter of the world's volcanic population, creating a rich volcanic landscape.
Mount Fuji is a symbol of Japanese volcanoes and one of the largest volcanoes in the world. In recent years, Mt. Fuji seems to be becoming more and more intense. Some Japanese scholars have speculated with trepidation that the volcano, which once claimed so many lives, may be about to erupt again!
It is speculated that this eruption could reach a magnitude 5, equivalent to an 8Level 7 Big ** Impact. And this is without taking into account the potential for tsunamis and ash cover from eruptions. List of high-quality authors
