That doesn't ever happen! Wait, my phone is playing up... 🇨🇳 enters the chat. China number 1, China number 1! West is bad, USA is bad capitalism. Xi is best. 🇨🇳 leaves chat. Sorry, not sure what happened there... what was I saying? Oh yeah, you have been listening to Fox News too much, China doesn't have bots trying to push a narrative 🙄.
The Japanese have an army of Gotengo class flying drill equipped submarine battleships hidden under the South China just waiting for China to get too close! 😂
we are servicing marine cargo/tanker vessel's engines and based on my experience, Japanese built has higher structural quality than Korean and the last is Chinese. Japanese vessels are designed logically and built to last
You are spot on. So many videos over the years can't get their math right. Does anyone review these videos before posting? I have corrected DOZENS of math mistakes over the years and I never get a response. (Maybe this person will respond) Even economists who I correct do not respond. The world is mathematically illiterate.
This is also a huge pet peeve of mine! In figures like these people for some reason start at the $320 billion number and not the $150 billion number. They think, "O, $320 and $150 means a 56% increase!" and somehow forget that $320 billion is over twice $150 billion! How can you more than double something and not understand the increase is over 100%! This is so baffling (and annoying) to me!
China is unfortunately an underdog in this war. US allied forces are going to have a military expenditure of $2.5 trillion US dollars. The US spends $800+ billion on its military, and Japan spends $320 billion on its military. The amount goes up to $1.12 trillion, nearly half, and if you account for all other NATO military spending, it is up to $1.52 trillion, with the other being in ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, India, etc. China, on the other hand, spends only $225 billion, which is less than 1/10 of US allied force military spending, and has way fewer personnel (a fraction) than the U.S. allied force military. With this in mind, it is clear to me who the underdog is. Unfortunately, I don’t often hear anybody supporting China in Binkov's comment section.
You see don’t see much support for Chynuh because they are a communist dictatorship and raycyst state that tries to bully and threaten all of their Asian neighbors. Not to mention the bio agent they released a few years ago that killed millions around the world.
People underestimate China and think their navy is made of plastic, or they overestimate China and think they will dominate the world. Truth is right in the middle.
If you're talking about an open water battle in the Sea of Japan or the South China Sea, sure, but we also have to keep in mind that China can make everything so much worse with just one "simple" trick, namely the invasion of Taiwan. With that, it could rely on its frankly massive air and amphibious fleets and attempt to overwhelm the island, which is the concern that the US, Japan, ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and India probably want to avert with a tripwire comprising a fraction of their forces. And a power as far away and multi-interested as the US cannot keep all of its forces in one location all the time and has to spend more on expeditionary support vessels like replenishment ships. It's not necessarily a slam dunk for the Allies. That said, one can't just compare dollar amounts like that; power purchasing parity varies, and what is accounted for in the military budget varies. Even this is a complicated subject, and I think you would get that by watching a specialist in defence economics, so here you go ua-cam.com/video/mH5TlcMo_m4/v-deo.html
Dude unfortunately?? With chinas massive population and gdp it’s not an underdog, not to mention China relationships with its near by countries is bad and bully like, why would you want a China whos on top?
China's posturing has cost them by alarming countries into doing something before China starts something. Like cutting off rare earth metals. No less the 5 new sources came up when China threatened to stop allowing the US buy them. So, they lose market share out of aggressive stupidity.
@@Forevertruewhile US is threatening not only the chips but all high technology, you are talking about China threatening US for rare metals ? Speaking of stupidity? You are 😂
I've been reading and watch videos recently about the battles of the Eastern Solomons and Santa Cruz. You come away greatly respecting the IJN. The USN too. Of course, this is not to give a pass to the Japanese atrocities in East Asia, but Yamamoto did not want war with the US and the IJN did not commit these atrocities. The US needs the IJN to build up it's strength.
The math doesn't add up. 32% to 33% of 320 Billion dollars is much more than 60 Billion dollars. It is at least more than a 100 Billion dollars. But Binkov says it is just 60. Am I missing something here?
It's true that China can produce a vast number of ships in a hurry but it's harder to manufacture experienced and skilled sailors and naval officers and aviators. That takes years. Naval tradition and institutional memory is still a very real phenomenon.
@dyflin3246 I suspect he is referring to the imperial navy and the notes and doctrines in place not to mention the updates and training from the Americans. This is a contiguous history where as the china's last worthy navy was during the ming period.
Producing ships in a hurry suggests low quality and low survivability, probably even moreso than in construction the rule applies, you can build it fast, cheap, quality. You get to pick two. As far as crew and design, Japan at least has past experience/doctrine and US training, china is basically starting from scratch with zero battle testing whatsoever and likely low quality ships built in haste
@@trevorbirkbeck4011 Current naval operations the US has done are pressing buttons to shoot down outdated ASM's, in a war against a near peer adversary you can basically throw these experiences out of the window
Equipment figures are cool and all, but what's even more important is the people factor: how good are the operators of that equipment? Japan has a very professional, disciplined, detail-oriented culture, not just in the military, but in general. Japanese are extremely competent in much of what they dedicate themselves to. China does not have such a culture. I have strong doubts that the Chinese will be up to the task. And I'm not just saying that because I live in Japan and am biased. It's the honest truth of the matter.
These are just your imaginations. In fact, Japan's military power is far from China's. There are also no advantages in terms of military technology for China. Japan is only a vassal of the United States. Many of his military-technical aspects were constrained.
on military side, do u know that China is experiencing the longest period without war on its centuries of history? If yes, how could u doubt the people?
@@glamdring0007 IF if even looks like China is going to start shooting, the first thing US does is move everything valuable out of Guam. No one really believes they can hit a carrier with their missiles, but everyone believes they can turn Guam into a hole, sadly.
USA never ever will win a war with two fronts even more if it’s alone! In order to go against China, USA has first to pay the billions Of dollars lent by China
Japan has the best value for money western military on Earth .. the size of there military for its budget is incredible... put it this way Japan military budget is only 49 USD billion, Australia is 38 billion now yet Japans Navy is 3.5 times stronger than Australia , there air force is 2.5 times stronger and there Army is 5 times stronger .... yet there budget is only 28% or so more than Australia , aus MILITARY is terrible for the amount of money it spends - Singapore has about the same fighter force in Air power with a budget 3.5 times smaller
China has never fought a modern blue water war , The US has over 100 years of experience plus they won't be dealing with just the US they will be dealing with every country surrounding them
Two fallacy in your comment: most of China’s neighbors will stay neutral in actual conflict since they are all within Chinese ballistic missiles range and U.S. has not had blue water war experience since ww2. They just sail a lot and bombard Stone Age countries at coastline
The WW2 veterans are mostly dead or dying . And afghanistan veteran secretary of state is suffering from prostate cancer . Experience is such a wishy washy , depending on when you’re born 😂😅😂
remind me again when was the last time the modern US navy fought a peer adversary navy with ships that were equivalent to or superior than their own ships. Oh, that's right, that never happened, so why don't you sit down and take a chill pill
America before the two world wars never ad fight in any world war... China is s monster in times of peace, lets imagine China pumping up the production in an economy of war, like after Pearl Harbour, in the USA. America and it's allies haven't hypersonic defenseless missiles, only the friends of Russia: China, Nort Korea and Iran - allegedly the Houtis.

The Japanese Navy is focusing on developing stealth and underwater drone operational capabilities. Her 24 vessels of the Mogami type and new FFM have relatively large UUV operational capabilities. Submarines will also have UUV operational capabilities. In coastal areas like the East China Sea, submarines and FFM fleets will be the main force.
Chinese military scientists have announced a "huge breakthrough" in laser weapon technology. The scientists, from the National University of Defence Technology in Changsha, have claimed that they have developed a cooling mechanism for laser weapons which will enable high-energy lasers to run "infinitely" without any waste heat accumulation, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported. “This is a huge breakthrough in improving the performance of high-energy laser systems,” said the researchers' team led by Yuan Shengfu in a study published on August 4 in Acta Optica Sinica, a Chinese-language peer-reviewed publication.China is aiming to increase the already staggering power of their most powerful combat laser ever to a cruise-missile-destroying 500 kilowatts (kW) of pure energy capable of destroying enemy's aircraft and missiles.
Making a 500kW laser is not that difficult. However, this will require a 1.5MW power source and a huge amount of heat generation countermeasures. Laser cannon is a system integration technology that includes fire control, power control, and cooling technology.
The reason they are going sub is because the hypersonics makes warfare above water almost impossible. The issue with subs is that there is no guarantee that new detection techs won't obsolete them in the next decade as AI assisted detection equipment are advancing quickly.
Japan and South Korea’s history of conflict remains a barrier for their shared interest in countering China. An alliance between S.Korea and Japan would be very powerful
I agree with you to an extent, but at the same time you don't see China attempting too hard to drive a wedge between Korea and Japan, no more so than they're just generally meddling with everyone. I just feel like in the western media, you never really hear about the Korean gov't yapping with the CCP publicly. But at the same time, there's just no way if China is shooting at Guam and Japan and sinking American ships, they're not also flinging missiles at Camp Humphreys, right? Once again, western media isn't really out there pumping this news, but there's an absolute ton of US military infrastructure in Korea, and it is a whole lot closer to China than Japan. If they don't hit us, then heck yeah I'm all good with Korea staying out of it. In this crazy scenario we're talking about where China is dropping missiles on everyone everywhere I doubt Korea really believes it can stay out of it.
Yeah, no. Japan and South Korea are diplomatically at odds, but South Korea and Japan have both had official statements willing to do joint defense for one another in case of Big C and in case of ROC being invaded. Once Big C gets involved, any and all inconsequential quibbles between Japan and SK will take a back seat. It has to. And both know it.
@@matchesburn I've made this comparison a lot, but its like a big family, and China is the oldest sibling trying to control everyone whereas Japan and Korea are the two youngest who always squabble with each other. That squabbling will end when there's a bigger threat to both.
With this defense spending, Japan is producing "Island defense anti-ship missile". This is missile will have the range of 2,000 km. If deployed on Okinawa, all of China's Hu line is within reach of its radius. The Hu line consist of 94% of China's population and productivity.
Who say a nation that was nearly to use nuke in war with soviet and thinking that west is the real evil in world I thank europe will not like nuke dropping so say usa japan and uk only will join if china is 10x weaker then present other wise only japan while usa giving weapon.
Japan has already updated the Mogami to the batch II Mogami. No that is rapid upgrading of the model! Mogami only has 90 crew as compared to 200+ on Aussie, Canadian boats. Somewhat disappointed the Canadians are so behind in innovations in these areas.
It makes no sense. The Chinese navy has hypersonic anti-ship missiles with a total tonnage of more than 2 million tons and a range of more than 1,000 kilometers that is more than 5 times the speed of sound. Japan only has a fleet of 400,000 tons of displacement and poor Harpoon anti-ship missiles of Mach 0.8 with a range of 200 kilometers. The Japanese navy is lagging behind in terms of both quantity and quality. Considering that the tonnage of China’s fleet launched in one year is that of the United States, India, Japan and all NATO members combined, any country that wants to challenge China militarily is a clown.
@@Scowcz those hypersonic missiles are likely not going to work if they're to be used, since isn't the technology practically brand-new and still untested in combat?
@@merafirewing6591 they can just be lobbed at japanese ports like conventional ballistic missiles even if they can't hit a destroyer out at sea. Sinking a japanese ship in port is the same as sinking it out at sea.
You know, just once I'd love to see what a disinfo campaign looks like from another nation besides the 2 knuckleheads. Like, I dunno a fun one like the Bolivian Air Force, and seeing a bunch of Bolivians roll in and what they'd say.
In the sense of 'holding on till US forces gets here', it's pretty much a massive force to a point that it can be considered as 'they can hold on their own for quite a while'. Since China would not going to put all their force in one place at any one time, Japan has the capacity to defend itself to the teeth quite adequately. In fact, it's far more powerful than one of NATO member force, it's no slouch and is one giant of a naval force.
I would love to see our Japanese friends & allies build an actual "from the keel up" aircraft carrier; though I'm happy they have decided to at least upgrade their "helicopter destroyers". It would be nice to have a Japanese fleet carrier on our side for a change! Furthermore, I'm happy our South Korean friends are building up their navy. China has the capacity to build up their own fleet but there is one major thing they lack that the US has; powerful allies. 🇯🇵🇰🇷🇺🇲
@@sillysad3198 if you compare Asia with a big family... China is the oldest sibling, trying to control everything and everyone, but Japan and Korea are the little brothers who are always fighting with each other, no matter what's happening in the outside world
The US should assist Japan in buildings at least one traditional aircraft carrier of the Nimitz class, non nuclear power. The Australians would possibly want one too. The Japanese military should consider purchasing the V280 for their smaller helicopter platform ships as offensive weapons.
If these requirements are successful, China may increase military spending by 20-30%. Even with a 100% increase, its military spending is only 2/3 of that of the United States. Even so, it is still enough to build 3-4 aircraft carriers and equip them with carrier based aircraft and corresponding escort fleets. Japan's stagnant economy cannot withstand an arms race.
Japan is an Archepelagic Nation. And has a mastery of the seas and a true Naval Power...Its experiences in the past and its familiarity on how elements play with the sea, could be the sources of their strenght... In World War 2, again they have exibited their prowess...Unlike that of China, their experience in Surface Warfare seems to be lacking in their naval history. Specially woth the use of modern ships and armamemts.. Technologically, there is a balance, The decisive factor will be experiemce...
The Japanesse Navy is 1000 percent a top 5 Navy ... They have many outstanding destoyers ... About 10 of them Crusier equvilant... Several heli carriers as well..
Under what circumstance would the US not support Japanese Navy when the US is basically stationed in a dozen places between Taiwan and Japan. Japan will be fine.
@stuartemmanuel3735 Wow, you're seriously comparing the two? Do you not realize that the US after WW2 essentially became the guarantor of Japanese security? The US has a treaty with Japan that says the US must defend Japan in the event they are attacked. The US has no such relationship with Israel. Also, if Japan was attacked by China, it would the act of one sovereign entity attacking another sovereign entity. Gaza, however, is not a sovereign entity. Even before the current conflict, the UN recognized it as being under Israeli military occupation. Israeli troops had left in 2005 but since Gaza was still under a blockade the UN considered it to be under Israeli military occupation. China on the hand, is not under any sort of Japanese military occupation. That's just a tiny little difference between the two situations. China attacking Japan is different on so many levels than the recent Hamas attack on Israel that calling it "apples and oranges" doesn't do it justice.
China's national defense construction has never regarded Japan as an opponent. China's imaginary opponent is the group headed by the United States and the entire Western world. In China's view, Japan is just a wolf in this wolf pack. Our imaginary enemy is the entire wolf pack. If we only regard Japan as an opponent and do not mention others, it will make us Chinese feel very embarrassed. We Chinese people love face very much.
Th bigger issue for China is they’ve ticked off everyone else on the South China Sea. So they likely have to deal with multiple countries if a major conflict breaks out. Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, the US, South Korea, and possibly even Vietnam.
Lol, Philippines is straight no. Their only's worth is being a staging ground for US forces. The most involvement I see for Vietnam is using the chaos to nab a few disputed islands and corral reefs on the spratly islands, otherwise, they would just likely seat out of the conflict. SK still have to deal with their northern neighbor, I don't think they want to risk an invasion from a NK empowered by both China and Russia. Australia, NZ? Too far to do anything affecting the operation zone. The only allies worth a damn to the US is the entire region is Japan.
Japan is one of the largest Economies in the world and they already have one of the best and largest navies in the world. They just need a Cash infusion and permission to make their military stronger.
Japan building up a Navy today makes more sense today against China over Russia in the past. China's Navy does pose a credible threat to places like Taiwan and India-Pacific shipping, but I think we can all safely say the only threat the Russian Navy posed was to itself.
Real peace? When in history has that ever happened? Self-defense Navy of Japan is the world's third largest navy and Asia's second largest navy. While competitively being second is worse than coming first, this is not a foot race. Japanese navy furthermore is more professional and better trained than PLAN personnel and it's sailors (being mainly volunteers) are more dedicated to sea warfare than the Chinese. Japan furthermore is an island archipelago, which geopolitically focuses the Japanese on combined fleets sea and air defence, more than a land power like China.
Dont worry Japan....the Philippines will help you... remember the time we fought against each other... we are well experience in battle.. we will never leave you behind...
I'm a bit concerned that Japan has decided to name their new carrier "Kaga" that ship was sunk in WW2 at Midway. Its a bit disrespectful to History. Name it something new.
The only circumstance where Japan would have to go it alone would be if they were silly enough to start a conflict. Otherwise, under any other scenario they would have comprehensive assistance from allied nations. Also the CCP is highly sensitive to any sort of economic disruption that would be caused by such a conflict.
I like how Japan is already very powerful and they have only been spending 1% of GDP on defense which they plan on doubling to 2% GDP to ensure continued deterrence by potential aggressors. Besides Five Eyes, NATO, AUKUS and our bilateral military alliances with Japan and South Korea, we also have the QUAD with India, Japan, and Australia. This comparison while interesting people should take with a grain of salt and seems a bit irrelevant given that Japan will never face an aggressor without that aggressor also facing the wrath of the US Pacific Fleet.
I think the Type 003 carrier will go into service much earlier than 2029. It's currently undergoing sea trials and I expect it to be ready for deployment in 2-3 years. DItto for the J-35 carrier stealth fighter.
quick answer = yes and that =ww3 since we (The U.S.A.) have a mutual defense pact with them, not to mention how many tens of thousands of our troops would undoubtedly get caught in the crossfire that are already stationed there.
Let me tell you a fact, 95% of the drones currently in operation in the world come from China, and this still accounts for the majority of the civilian market. If the Chinese government opens up the manufacturing of military drones, it can produce tens of thousands of military drones a day. China has the world's largest civilian drone market and civilian operators, and military drone operators should also be the first in the world, The number and variety of unmanned individuals are also the first in the world, which is a fact recognized by the United States itself
@@OzIan1983 no, you don't, you have about 25 military-grade spy satellites that are likely able to locate a target at sea and then communicate that back
To be fair it would never be just Japan It would be Japan Taiwan South Korea Canada America New Zealand Australia Also add one could be Vietnam Indonesia Thailand Phillipines India Malyasia
@@mikecql123We do not have formal mutual defense pacts with Ukraine. We don't have any bases in Ukraine. We have numerous bases in Japan. We have formal mutual defense treaties with Japan. Australia is equally concerned with China and they don't have the lingering animosity with Japan that other potential allies have like S Korea and Taiwan. Right now, they are mostly in the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" with S Korea and Taiwan. If Australia and NZ fully engage (which they will if the CCP attacks Japan and US bases in Japan) then UK and Canada will be right there. The Anglosphere is one military intelligence entity in many ways. The West as a whole has many times the money power and experience than china or russia and we're not all falling apart at the seam like UK and US. They (China) don't want this war. I wish we could just play it in video games, all agree that US team is far superior AND playing on EASY while China player kinda sucks, has no experience less resources and is playing on HARD.
@@burtan2000 Yes, yes, keep typing your BS. When things getting real, none of the countries you mentioned would send over any troops and ships. They will never fight a war that is not in their favor, especially these days.
@mikecql123 There are two carrier battle groups off the coast of isreal We have sent so much material and ammo to ukraine they once had 14 000 military in 2014 and have 500 000 now They are arguably the second most advanced military on earth. 300 000 Russian dead 50 % of the army destroyed Us spent 5% of its military budget
@mikecql123 we have canadian ships patrolling the Taiwan straight with American and Anzac and Japanese and even phillipino ships daily.... The pro Russian and pro Chinese crowd are hilarious. Two failed empire that can't get it up
Japan's force will not need to engage China's alone, no more than Poland need face Russia on its own. It would seem to me that Japan comes so close to parity against China goes a long way to closing the Pacific as a viable battleground for the PLAN.
Japan restraining its power because US said so while china is on full fledge whaling to be on top. If US didn't restrict Japan i bet Japan would be number 3 in military power
Us didn't restrict Japan. If you're gonna propagandize at least start with a truth before lying. The us actively wanted Japan and Germany to re militarize immediately after WW2 to combat communism. It is the Germans and Japanese themselves who dedicated themselves to peace. Your lots agressive actions have been waking them up though (presuming you're Chinese, Russian, or from another of the nefarious nations, if I'm wrong then you're just a moron)
@@janehrahan5116A there’s no evidence to suggest this person is from the eastern bloc (how did you even come to that conclusion) and B the only thing they got wrong was who was responsible for the restriction of military power.

Worked in Chinese shipyards. Did service still on lots. The items are junk. Where we work building got condemned falling apart. China on surface looks good, but reality is way different very little quality control

We did conduct several wargames with allies, including the Japanese when I was in the Navy. Their ships were quite advanced and capable. I think the Japanese military is quite capable fighting force.
Oh God finally a video about Japan. I'm tired of all the videos showing the Taiwan issue as a US-China 1v1 when a very involved and important local player like Japan is just as likely to enter the frey.
How does Japan's 'self defense only' constitution factor in to this? Are they allowed to come to the defense of a neighbor even if their own territory isn't under attack?
@@atomic_wait They did change this interpretation. Plus as people say - in the end, country is going to do what country feels it needs to do. Regardless of lawfulness of such act. And yes, defending an ally is now recognized in the same category as defending their own territory. It was pretty well covered change. Of course whether they will consider Taiwan an "ally" depends on what government at the time, with all of different tensions and pressure (both external and internal) will be dealing. As well as how big of an act of war that China will decide on will be. And how much danger it will be to Japan (whole point is that for Japanese, China waging war against Taiwan would be horrible - that is why they are likely to act).
In reality it won’t be just Japan against China. Add the US navy and Japanese navy then do a comparison. China May have a lot of ships but their operations tempo is sad compared to the us and Japan. Chinas aircraft carrier groups are sad and the Chinese haven’t even come close to deploying their aircraft on their carriers to combat effectiveness
Forget ye not the success of the soviets against the technologically superior Nazi's. There is something to be said for volume of resources, which unlike the US which only has in the region what it carries and Japan which is resource starved and easily isolated. China has a lot of resources, industry and production capabilities along with current and potential troop numbers. China would never go in for a toe-to-toe match, instead they will do as they have been preparing and deliver swarms of anti-ship long range missiles keeping their fleet within the missile defense range. This would have a big change in the battle dynamic as their numerical superiority would only need to hold the line whilst the missiles come from the mainland and rear forces to do the bulk of the damage. Their planes and ships may be inferior in quality but, when you are the only one able to replace losses, time becomes your friend
Isn't that ironic, that modern China vs modern Japan is a bit like WW2 USA vs WW2 Japan? Quite comparable at the start, but unable to win without ally.
Here's a few key points that you haven't pointed out with this whole scheme Japan is retiring ships but at the same time look at the amount of weapons they are actually producing and actually testing right now the new procurements of actual weapons that are getting from the US as well as other countries that are friendly to them is astounding. What they're doing is making sure that the front line ships are supplied and man but at the same time giving themselves enough room to pull out of ships that were recently mothballed China on the other hand has been shown to have Crews that are not exactly disciplined. What more than likely will happen is they will depend on their Submariner Fleet which has been shown to lack in certain skills. But at the same time if World War 3 happens it's going to be a hell of a fight and we're going to have to be going back to the Stone Age because guess what EM weapons.
Nowadays, it's all about ships carrying medium range anti-ship hypersonic missiles. And carriers carrying planes that launches medium range anti-ship hypersonic missiles. And satellite AI detection of ships. At least that's the type of war that China is building to fight. Japanese ships are not currently capable of any of these capability.
The Hyuga and IS were both named for to hermaphrodite battleship-carriers that served the Imperial Japanese Navy in WW2. In the case of those ships Ise was the class ship, and Hyuga the second of the class. As built, they had 6 main turrets with two 14-inch guns each along the centerline. Four of these turrets were aft of the conning tower. Oddly, turrets 5 and 6 were removed, but turrets 3 and 4 were retained despite their very limited usefulness.
japans navy at the minimum only needs to hold out until the reinforcement arrives. From Guam, Saipan, Hawaii, Australia and hopefully other Asian countries
I doubt other Asian countries will help after seeing Ukraine and not even 1 country helping them with boots on the ground and seeing how so many western companies today refuse to even leave Russia and we have a money is god , ethics and morals who cares excuse for everything in the world along with greed its even possible Australia wont help Japan or will get a lot of push back form all the pro money not my problem pro chinese people in GOV.

NOw its all hugs and kisses to everyone and my trade partner garbage
I don't think it's a good idea to underestimate China or overestimate Japan, but it is true that Japan's Self-Defense Forces are operated and designed for fairly localized specific situations. You can't know the superiority or inferiority from a simple comparison, but there are plenty of things you can learn from the comparison. Thank you for your dedication. By the way, I always think that Chinese trolls don't understand sarcasm. Well, even a long sentence that seems rational at first glance can be seen as a logical leap on the way to the conclusion. Is the lack of functionality due to the sloppy work of the authoritarian dictatorship? Or is it the work of an innocent, ignorant, naïve teen sponsored by a VPN company? Or is it a patriotic supporter outside the mainland? Either way, I'm POOinting to one.
Strong enough to stop Chinese aggression & defend its territory. Japan would never (and doesn't need to) attack first, that's the main point of Japanese Navy🫡
@@Hmonks not only Tibet but almost all the South China Sea and Mongolia and parts of India. Unlike America China keeps the land every time it writes a new map of the world with them getting bigger
I need an adjutant. Having said that, Japan will be tasked to hold the line until American forces can get here. When you look at it that way, things look far more secure.
Japan's chances against China depend greatly on the mission. If the mission is to defend Japan against China, their navy can probably get the job done for the simple reason that China can engage in cost/benefit analysis and likely realizes that it would be a Pyrrhic victory for them at best. Trying to eliminate the Japanese Navy in the Home Waters of Japan would bring the Chinese navy within logistically close range of the Japanese Air Force. That would give Japan a striking power against the Chinese fleet equivalent to several US Navy CVNs. If the mission is to help repel a Chinese invasion of a regional ally like Taiwan or The Philippines, that's a much tougher nut to crack.

Ukraine isn't a great example. It's a land war and doesn't have a navy. It can take it's time going after Russian ships and Russia doesn't really have much to do with those ships outside of intelligence and firing long-ranged missiles. A war between China and Japan isn't likely to see either side sit back and wait for there ships to be "sniped". They'll need to be used (against each other's ships) before they are targeted satellites, aircraft, long range missiles, and other ships.
Not a good example. The Russian Navy is utterly incompetent at even basic tasks. The PLAN is highly capable and has capabilities that sometimes rival or even surpass in some specific capacities the USN. 2 subsonic missiles is one of the most basic and easy to deal with threats for a modern navy. I repeat, the Russian Navy is just that bad.
China will commit massive information manipulation to rupture the alliance. It's their traditional strategy as we can find in Sun Tzu. They feel no guilt for lying, so they can do anything to obtain profit and power. Please never be deceived by their lies.

But… it’s not going to be China vs. Japan… it would be China vs. Japan, South Korea, United States, Australia, and Taiwan. So no China would not be able to stand up to those combined fleets. Behold the power of allies.
Reading the comments, I thought Japan succeeded one hundred years ago😂Japan even has no formal militants right now. Navy😂😂Japan is still just a colony of the US…
It's been 80 years since the last large scale navy war. I think missile technology has improved exponentially since that time. Hence, one a ship is located, it will be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Probably not so. If a capital ship stupidly got caught in short range, perhaps. But assuming any ship of real value is at least a couple hundred miles at sea from any missile threat and sailing evasively, a missile would have to be very large and sophisticated to make the adjustments needed to hit a target... something at least today the US and its allies don't think China or Russia is capable yet. And, the defensive systems aren't just for show. The nearly 100% performance of the US Phalanx in Ukraine shows the US has the capability to shoot down even hypersonic ballistic missiles and US systems are being mounted on allied nations' ships as well.
@@tonysu8860 missiles are cheap compared to interceptors. and missiles can carry multiple warheads and decoys which all have to be shot down. Stuff in ukraine is blowing up everyday from Russian missiles because there is a finite number of Patriot interceptors the US can build a year and that number is alot smaller than the number of offensive missiles Russia can build. If you play that game with china. you'll run out of interceptors on the first week.

23:15 A budget increase from $150 billion to $320 billion is 133%, not 56%.
23:30 32.5% of $320 billion is $104 billion.
You are spot on. So many videos over the years can't get their math right. Does anyone review these videos before posting? I have corrected DOZENS of math mistakes over the years and I never get a response. (Maybe this person will respond) Even economists who I correct do not respond. The world is mathematically illiterate.
This is also a huge pet peeve of mine! In figures like these people for some reason start at the $320 billion number and not the $150 billion number. They think, "O, $320 and $150 means a 56% increase!" and somehow forget that $320 billion is over twice $150 billion! How can you more than double something and not understand the increase is over 100%! This is so baffling (and annoying) to me!
7th Fleet is based in Japan, so I think that could be the difference if this scenario happened
China is unfortunately an underdog in this war. US allied forces are going to have a military expenditure of $2.5 trillion US dollars. The US spends $800+ billion on its military, and Japan spends $320 billion on its military. The amount goes up to $1.12 trillion, nearly half, and if you account for all other NATO military spending, it is up to $1.52 trillion, with the other being in ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, India, etc. China, on the other hand, spends only $225 billion, which is less than 1/10 of US allied force military spending, and has way fewer personnel (a fraction) than the U.S. allied force military. With this in mind, it is clear to me who the underdog is. Unfortunately, I don’t often hear anybody supporting China in Binkov's comment section.
Unfortunately? I take US hegemonie over Chinese hegemonie any day. Anyone in the west that doesn't is either very misguided or an insane ideologue.
You see don’t see much support for Chynuh because they are a communist dictatorship and raycyst state that tries to bully and threaten all of their Asian neighbors. Not to mention the bio agent they released a few years ago that killed millions around the world.
People underestimate China and think their navy is made of plastic, or they overestimate China and think they will dominate the world.
Truth is right in the middle.
If you're talking about an open water battle in the Sea of Japan or the South China Sea, sure, but we also have to keep in mind that China can make everything so much worse with just one "simple" trick, namely the invasion of Taiwan.
With that, it could rely on its frankly massive air and amphibious fleets and attempt to overwhelm the island, which is the concern that the US, Japan, ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and India probably want to avert with a tripwire comprising a fraction of their forces. And a power as far away and multi-interested as the US cannot keep all of its forces in one location all the time and has to spend more on expeditionary support vessels like replenishment ships. It's not necessarily a slam dunk for the Allies.
That said, one can't just compare dollar amounts like that; power purchasing parity varies, and what is accounted for in the military budget varies. Even this is a complicated subject, and I think you would get that by watching a specialist in defence economics, so here you go

The math doesn't add up. 32% to 33% of 320 Billion dollars is much more than 60 Billion dollars. It is at least more than a 100 Billion dollars. But Binkov says it is just 60. Am I missing something here?
@Binkov please clarify
It's true that China can produce a vast number of ships in a hurry but it's harder to manufacture experienced and skilled sailors and naval officers and aviators. That takes years. Naval tradition and institutional memory is still a very real phenomenon.
Depends on what you mean by experienced? In combat well neither China nor Japan has that experience.
@dyflin3246 I suspect he is referring to the imperial navy and the notes and doctrines in place not to mention the updates and training from the Americans. This is a contiguous history where as the china's last worthy navy was during the ming period.
Well, it is precisely because it takes years that they have to start somewhere, don't they?
Producing ships in a hurry suggests low quality and low survivability, probably even moreso than in construction the rule applies, you can build it fast, cheap, quality. You get to pick two.
As far as crew and design, Japan at least has past experience/doctrine and US training, china is basically starting from scratch with zero battle testing whatsoever and likely low quality ships built in haste
@@trevorbirkbeck4011 Current naval operations the US has done are pressing buttons to shoot down outdated ASM's, in a war against a near peer adversary you can basically throw these experiences out of the window
Equipment figures are cool and all, but what's even more important is the people factor: how good are the operators of that equipment? Japan has a very professional, disciplined, detail-oriented culture, not just in the military, but in general. Japanese are extremely competent in much of what they dedicate themselves to.
China does not have such a culture. I have strong doubts that the Chinese will be up to the task.
And I'm not just saying that because I live in Japan and am biased. It's the honest truth of the matter.
So be it. You can sleep well and eat well with nuclear water contaminated foods now.
These are just your imaginations. In fact, Japan's military power is far from China's. There are also no advantages in terms of military technology for China. Japan is only a vassal of the United States. Many of his military-technical aspects were constrained.

Chinese military scientists have announced a "huge breakthrough" in laser weapon technology.
The scientists, from the National University of Defence Technology in Changsha, have claimed that they have developed a cooling mechanism for laser weapons which will enable high-energy lasers to run "infinitely" without any waste heat accumulation, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
“This is a huge breakthrough in improving the performance of high-energy laser systems,” said the researchers' team led by Yuan Shengfu in a study published on August 4 in Acta Optica Sinica, a Chinese-language peer-reviewed publication.China is aiming to increase the already staggering power of their most powerful combat laser ever to a cruise-missile-destroying 500 kilowatts (kW) of pure energy capable of destroying enemy's aircraft and missiles.
Making a 500kW laser is not that difficult.
However, this will require a 1.5MW power source and a huge amount of heat generation countermeasures.
Laser cannon is a system integration technology that includes fire control, power control, and cooling technology.
China is the leader in drone tech.
The reason they are going sub is because the hypersonics makes warfare above water almost impossible. The issue with subs is that there is no guarantee that new detection techs won't obsolete them in the next decade as AI assisted detection equipment are advancing quickly.
Japan and South Korea’s history of conflict remains a barrier for their shared interest in countering China. An alliance between S.Korea and Japan would be very powerful
I agree with you to an extent, but at the same time you don't see China attempting too hard to drive a wedge between Korea and Japan, no more so than they're just generally meddling with everyone. I just feel like in the western media, you never really hear about the Korean gov't yapping with the CCP publicly. But at the same time, there's just no way if China is shooting at Guam and Japan and sinking American ships, they're not also flinging missiles at Camp Humphreys, right? Once again, western media isn't really out there pumping this news, but there's an absolute ton of US military infrastructure in Korea, and it is a whole lot closer to China than Japan. If they don't hit us, then heck yeah I'm all good with Korea staying out of it. In this crazy scenario we're talking about where China is dropping missiles on everyone everywhere I doubt Korea really believes it can stay out of it.
Yeah, no. Japan and South Korea are diplomatically at odds, but South Korea and Japan have both had official statements willing to do joint defense for one another in case of Big C and in case of ROC being invaded.
Once Big C gets involved, any and all inconsequential quibbles between Japan and SK will take a back seat. It has to. And both know it.

It makes no sense. The Chinese navy has hypersonic anti-ship missiles with a total tonnage of more than 2 million tons and a range of more than 1,000 kilometers that is more than 5 times the speed of sound. Japan only has a fleet of 400,000 tons of displacement and poor Harpoon anti-ship missiles of Mach 0.8 with a range of 200 kilometers. The Japanese navy is lagging behind in terms of both quantity and quality. Considering that the tonnage of China’s fleet launched in one year is that of the United States, India, Japan and all NATO members combined, any country that wants to challenge China militarily is a clown.

In the sense of 'holding on till US forces gets here', it's pretty much a massive force to a point that it can be considered as 'they can hold on their own for quite a while'. Since China would not going to put all their force in one place at any one time, Japan has the capacity to defend itself to the teeth quite adequately. In fact, it's far more powerful than one of NATO member force, it's no slouch and is one giant of a naval force.
many recent developments reveal that US forces are not going to show up, like at all.

The US should assist Japan in buildings at least one traditional aircraft carrier of the Nimitz class, non nuclear power. The Australians would possibly want one too.
The Japanese military should consider purchasing the V280 for their smaller helicopter platform ships as offensive weapons.
If these requirements are successful, China may increase military spending by 20-30%. Even with a 100% increase, its military spending is only 2/3 of that of the United States. Even so, it is still enough to build 3-4 aircraft carriers and equip them with carrier based aircraft and corresponding escort fleets. Japan's stagnant economy cannot withstand an arms race.

Wow, you're seriously comparing the two?
Do you not realize that the US after WW2 essentially became the guarantor of Japanese security? The US has a treaty with Japan that says the US must defend Japan in the event they are attacked. The US has no such relationship with Israel.
Also, if Japan was attacked by China, it would the act of one sovereign entity attacking another sovereign entity. Gaza, however, is not a sovereign entity. Even before the current conflict, the UN recognized it as being under Israeli military occupation. Israeli troops had left in 2005 but since Gaza was still under a blockade the UN considered it to be under Israeli military occupation. China on the hand, is not under any sort of Japanese military occupation. That's just a tiny little difference between the two situations.
China attacking Japan is different on so many levels than the recent Hamas attack on Israel that calling it "apples and oranges" doesn't do it justice.

Let me tell you a fact, 95% of the drones currently in operation in the world come from China, and this still accounts for the majority of the civilian market. If the Chinese government opens up the manufacturing of military drones, it can produce tens of thousands of military drones a day. China has the world's largest civilian drone market and civilian operators, and military drone operators should also be the first in the world, The number and variety of unmanned individuals are also the first in the world, which is a fact recognized by the United States itself

And yes, defending an ally is now recognized in the same category as defending their own territory. It was pretty well covered change. Of course whether they will consider Taiwan an "ally" depends on what government at the time, with all of different tensions and pressure (both external and internal) will be dealing. As well as how big of an act of war that China will decide on will be. And how much danger it will be to Japan (whole point is that for Japanese, China waging war against Taiwan would be horrible - that is why they are likely to act).

In reality it won’t be just Japan against China. Add the US navy and Japanese navy then do a comparison. China May have a lot of ships but their operations tempo is sad compared to the us and Japan. Chinas aircraft carrier groups are sad and the Chinese haven’t even come close to deploying their aircraft on their carriers to combat effectiveness
Forget ye not the success of the soviets against the technologically superior Nazi's. There is something to be said for volume of resources, which unlike the US which only has in the region what it carries and Japan which is resource starved and easily isolated. China has a lot of resources, industry and production capabilities along with current and potential troop numbers. China would never go in for a toe-to-toe match, instead they will do as they have been preparing and deliver swarms of anti-ship long range missiles keeping their fleet within the missile defense range. This would have a big change in the battle dynamic as their numerical superiority would only need to hold the line whilst the missiles come from the mainland and rear forces to do the bulk of the damage. Their planes and ships may be inferior in quality but, when you are the only one able to replace losses, time becomes your friend
China dont come to your shore ,So its the US come to Japan and will face the PLAAF and the PLA Navy and the PLA long-ranged rocket force combined .

@@valortrader lol. Read the news.. S.korea hates China. S.korea and Japan are in good terms now and are close ally militarily.
Isn't that ironic, that modern China vs modern Japan is a bit like WW2 USA vs WW2 Japan? Quite comparable at the start, but unable to win without ally.
Not even close China was never a naval power.
Here's a few key points that you haven't pointed out with this whole scheme Japan is retiring ships but at the same time look at the amount of weapons they are actually producing and actually testing right now the new procurements of actual weapons that are getting from the US as well as other countries that are friendly to them is astounding. What they're doing is making sure that the front line ships are supplied and man but at the same time giving themselves enough room to pull out of ships that were recently mothballed China on the other hand has been shown to have Crews that are not exactly disciplined. What more than likely will happen is they will depend on their Submariner Fleet which has been shown to lack in certain skills. But at the same time if World War 3 happens it's going to be a hell of a fight and we're going to have to be going back to the Stone Age because guess what EM weapons.
Nowadays, it's all about ships carrying medium range anti-ship hypersonic missiles. And carriers carrying planes that launches medium range anti-ship hypersonic missiles. And satellite AI detection of ships. At least that's the type of war that China is building to fight. Japanese ships are not currently capable of any of these capability.
The Hyuga and IS were both named for to hermaphrodite battleship-carriers that served the Imperial Japanese Navy in WW2. In the case of those ships Ise was the class ship, and Hyuga the second of the class. As built, they had 6 main turrets with two 14-inch guns each along the centerline. Four of these turrets were aft of the conning tower. Oddly, turrets 5 and 6 were removed, but turrets 3 and 4 were retained despite their very limited usefulness.
yea yea I play wows too, nerd :p
japans navy at the minimum only needs to hold out until the reinforcement arrives. From Guam, Saipan, Hawaii, Australia and hopefully other Asian countries
I doubt other Asian countries will help after seeing Ukraine and not even 1 country helping them with boots on the ground and seeing how so many western companies today refuse to even leave Russia and we have a money is god , ethics and morals who cares excuse for everything in the world along with greed its even possible Australia wont help Japan or will get a lot of push back form all the pro money not my problem pro chinese people in GOV.

NOw its all hugs and kisses to everyone and my trade partner garbage
You're talking about Afghanistan, don't you think so?
I don't think it's a good idea to underestimate China or overestimate Japan, but it is true that Japan's Self-Defense Forces are operated and designed for fairly localized specific situations. You can't know the superiority or inferiority from a simple comparison, but there are plenty of things you can learn from the comparison. Thank you for your dedication.
By the way, I always think that Chinese trolls don't understand sarcasm. Well, even a long sentence that seems rational at first glance can be seen as a logical leap on the way to the conclusion. Is the lack of functionality due to the sloppy work of the authoritarian dictatorship? Or is it the work of an innocent, ignorant, naïve teen sponsored by a VPN company? Or is it a patriotic supporter outside the mainland? Either way, I'm POOinting to one.

I need an adjutant. Having said that, Japan will be tasked to hold the line until American forces can get here. When you look at it that way, things look far more secure.
Japan's chances against China depend greatly on the mission.
If the mission is to defend Japan against China, their navy can probably get the job done for the simple reason that China can engage in cost/benefit analysis and likely realizes that it would be a Pyrrhic victory for them at best. Trying to eliminate the Japanese Navy in the Home Waters of Japan would bring the Chinese navy within logistically close range of the Japanese Air Force. That would give Japan a striking power against the Chinese fleet equivalent to several US Navy CVNs.
If the mission is to help repel a Chinese invasion of a regional ally like Taiwan or The Philippines, that's a much tougher nut to crack.

You are a sad, sorry, little man.
Ukraines example of long range sniping Russian ships, as well as drone attacks, will have a huge impact on future navy planning, IMO.
Ukraine isn't a great example. It's a land war and doesn't have a navy. It can take it's time going after Russian ships and Russia doesn't really have much to do with those ships outside of intelligence and firing long-ranged missiles.
A war between China and Japan isn't likely to see either side sit back and wait for there ships to be "sniped". They'll need to be used (against each other's ships) before they are targeted satellites, aircraft, long range missiles, and other ships.
Not a good example. The Russian Navy is utterly incompetent at even basic tasks. The PLAN is highly capable and has capabilities that sometimes rival or even surpass in some specific capacities the USN. 2 subsonic missiles is one of the most basic and easy to deal with threats for a modern navy. I repeat, the Russian Navy is just that bad.

It's been 80 years since the last large scale navy war. I think missile technology has improved exponentially since that time. Hence, one a ship is located, it will be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Probably not so. If a capital ship stupidly got caught in short range, perhaps.
But assuming any ship of real value is at least a couple hundred miles at sea from any missile threat and sailing evasively, a missile would have to be very large and sophisticated to make the adjustments needed to hit a target... something at least today the US and its allies don't think China or Russia is capable yet. And, the defensive systems aren't just for show. The nearly 100% performance of the US Phalanx in Ukraine shows the US has the capability to shoot down even hypersonic ballistic missiles and US systems are being mounted on allied nations' ships as well.
@@tonysu8860 missiles are cheap compared to interceptors. and missiles can carry multiple warheads and decoys which all have to be shot down.
