The commies in China are upset and complained “We express
our concern at Japan’s expansion of its military equipment………….This trend is
worthy of high vigilance by Japan’s Asian neighbors and the international
community.”
Are the commies in China nuts? What about their accelerated military buildup
used to invade India, Bhutan, stole islands from the Philippines, and constantly
violate Japan’s territorial waters and airspace?
If Commie China was not so aggressive and belligerent
towards their neighbors, Japan would not have to expand their military.
