      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!

  • @X1GenKaneShiroX

    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.

      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

      “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.

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.

      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.

      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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

    People also have to take videos like these with a grain of salt. They are only thought experiments, and they can be wrong. I seem to remember that this channel, and others like it, once predicted an immediate and total collapse of the Ukrainian military if the Russians ever decided to invade them. Even military analysts got that one wrong. So don’t sweat it. Just enjoy the video for what it is, entertainment.
    Besides, Japan doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The US armed forces have military installations that cover about 25% of the Okinawan mainland. That’s a lot of American anti-missile and active radar systems. You also need to take into account the 30,000-50,000 active duty personnel from 4 of the branches of the US military along with about 25,000 of their family members living across the island. China can’t attack Japan without neutralizing Okinawa. And they can’t neutralize Okinawa without attacking the US. If that happens, countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia would most likely provide aid to Japan and the US in hopes that loss by China would clear up their economic exclusion zone. So while this is an interesting thought project it would never happen IRL.

    The Japanese Navy is one of the most well armed in the world. It won't be able to face China directly one on one, but it won't have to. By the time there's a naval battle between Japan and China, Taiwan would already be involved, the very good South Korean Navy would be on war footing and a carrier strike group would already be in the area.
    All in all Japan can't beat the Chinese Navy, but it's a very very big problem for China. By the time they beat the Japanese Navy, their very damaged navy will have to deal with the South Korean Navy and a couple of Carrier Strike Groups. Far from ideal.

      That said, China has a very long coastline to defend. Japan by comparison only needs to control access to the Sea of Japan via the Yellow Sea. China will not be able to commit the North Sea Fleet to any invasion of Taiwan. It may not even be able to commit the East Sea Fleet unless they successfully sucker punch the US and Japan in the opening phases either. And that advantage expires within weeks as the US will move additional CSGs into the theater.
