Japan’s strategic ambitions are even greater than the United States, China’s leading military expert Wang Yunfei recently concluded.
Wang Yunfei believes that Japan would like to see a large-scale war in the Taiwan Strait, with China returning to a poor and backward state after being seriously injured, the United States being forced to withdraw its troops from Japan after being badly injured, and Taiwan being dependent on Japan after being smashed, with Japan returning to its hegemonic position in Asia again.
According to Wang Yunfei, Shinzo Abe’s statement that “if something happens to Taiwan, it means something happens to Japan” and “it also means something happens to the Japan-U.S. alliance”, and Yoshihide Suga’s reference to Taiwan as a country at the party chief’s seminar with the opposition party leaders on the 9th of this month, reflect Japan’s strategic vision for the future.
Now, Japan has started to build a missile base in Ishigaki Island east of Taiwan to prepare for the Taiwan Strait, and with the United States to develop a “joint action plan” for the deployment of U.S. forces in the southwestern islands, all of which is to advance Japan’s strategic vision step by step.
Therefore, Wang Yunfei suggests that China’s strategic planning for the unification of Taiwan by force should be based on the overall strategic pattern of East Asia and even the overall situation of world security, in addition to thwarting the U.S. military’s attempt to interfere, but also to completely defeat Japan’s wolf ambitions.
