The fact that the Chinese haven't even done any tests with any of these alleged missiles really makes me question whether or not they're up to snuff to doing what everyone is theorizing what they can do. There's a difference between theoretically possible and having a practical system that can do it. And usually that difference is only bridged by extensive testing.
...not that this would be in China's interests frankly to test something like this out too much. If the tests fail spectacularly then it emboldens the USA. If the tests work out perfectly...then it spooks the USA into seriously pursuing counter measures and responses for it. It might actually be in China's best interest for their anti-ship ballistic missiles to be a vague hypothetical nobody can quite figure out how legit they are.

This was an open letter written by the Japanese ambassador in Canada for the Globe and Mail from yesterday. I wasn't sure if I should have put in the news thread, but since it's about Japan vs. China, I thought it would fit here anyway.

Fellow members from another forum indicated it as a very interesting piece. Why of all times would a visit to that shrine be controversial now when it happened already a lot in the past with a total of 60 visits by prime ministers? And who are we to say that we know what those prime ministers were thinking by going there? Both questions are legitimate. I think we have been intoxicated with all the crap coming from Chinese media in recent years and that we lost sight of the entire background, including the fact that Beijing didn't care about such detail for a very long time.

Sorry, but this is really an issue that those who are not well versed in shouldn't be attempting to comment on. Unlike most well-known conflicts (like the Israel issue), there are far subtle problems that have combined to the current sitatuion. |

After Japan surrender if MacArthur had clean house thoroughly in japan instead of just a holding a few people responsible and letting the others walk. i seriously doubt we would same problems.

Also, I always blame that old senile bearded human trash (Ho Chi Minh) for instigating the course towards ruin of all Vietnam when the country could have done a lot better without his stupid ideology. |

Nope, it's the same issue in Germany also. The only difference was that the anti-Nazis gained control of the government, thus stopping the reverse course from going full-steam. |

I wonder if China and NK can managed by themselves in case of war without help from other nations. Beside, it's normal to seek help. Even Superpowers depends on their "weak" allies. Funny now, PRC is both a hypocrite and country that DEPENDS from others especially economy. |

China condemns Japan leader on visit to Ethiopia
And China is possessive of Africa. Looks to me China doesn't like the idea of Japan making any inroads to Africa economically as it will lessen their influence and make them look worse. There are a number of Chinese operated mines in Africa that shows bad labor practices. |

Did you read the article at all? Because the title is misleading as hell. The subject of China(actually, only their top diplomatic representative at Ethiopia, not the Chinese government itself like the title seems to imply) protest is Abe's visit to Yasukuni(and of course Senkaku, which is nothing new), and the protest happen in Ethiopia, so not Abe's visit to Ethiopia itself. Next time, make sure you read the article first before riling people up

Not much of a surprise given the situation of Chinese operating mine in China, or the action of the mining industry in general in Africa and South America. Even mines operated by Canadian company have bad reputations.
