USA send two Carrier Battle Group in diaoyu islands,where is japan army?

i doubt japan gov will not declare war on china

because japan don't have enough military now, even less than south korea.

[Beren]

Japan could start building its own military industry any time. I guess they will do, if they read PoFo on a regular basis, and if their American masters let them.

[mikema63]

The American military is obligated by treaty to act as Japans, if a war starts it will involve the US military.

[Baff]

Then they won't call it a "war"

[mikema63]

Decisive over seas missile related peace action then.

[Baff]

I think you have to get "the peoples" into the title somehow or they won't use it.

[Dave]

Declaring war doesn't require any power other than sovereignty.

Panama once declared war on America.

[mikema63]

The peoples great and mighty explosion induced peace activities

But in iraq battle,usa lose so many people ,it's unfortunately.

Its not too many people historically. Anyway, Japan will never declare war on China - their military is geared towards defense with little offensive capability. Plus the two nations are important trading partners - it can even be argued that they depend upon each other. Statistics show that China's share of foreign trade with Japan is about 20%. A war wouldn't do anybody any favours. Just look at the bad economic effects of the protests in China last month.

Just as in Europe: peace can collapse at any moment, but it is the best interests of both nations to remain peaceful

It's been dying averse since Vietnam. Killing still doesn't seem to be a big worry however.

Chinese Navy warships pass waters near Okinawa island

Japan asked China to refrain from further straining relations on Oct. 16 after seven Chinese warships were spotted about 200 kilometers from the Senkaku Islands, the source of recent tensions between the neighbors.

Shinsuke Sugiyama, the director-general of the Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, asked the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo to "take appropriate measures while considering the larger picture of the Japan-China relationship."

The Chinese ships, including frigates, a guided missile destroyer, a refueler and two submarine rescue vessels, were sighted about 49 km from the island of Yonaguni in Okinawa Prefecture, according to Japan's Defense Ministry.

Japan considers the area part of its contiguous waters, and Defense Minister Satoshi Morimoto said Japan is monitoring the Chinese ships' movements.

The ships were believed to be returning to China after training in the Pacific.

Yeah,nuke is a great power weapon

[Ahovking]

I think what might happen is if china declares war on japan the united states will come to defend japan how ever if japan declares war on china, japan because the aggressor and there for i don't think the united state would come to the aid of japan even tho they might send some sort of aid but they wouldn't support (militarily) japan if it was the aggressor.

Therefor japan wont be doing the declaring.
