    Because the USA has very large forces stationed in Japan and on Okinawa and Guam, if the Chinese invaded Japan, the USA will be sucked into the conflict immediately. There is no possibility of China being able to invade Japan without taking on the entire USA as well.

    And the Chinese know this very well. South Korea also has huge armed services and would also be sucked into it on the US side.

    Given the situation right now, that's not entirely unlikely. If Japan's military men were killed while patrolling the Senkaku, Abe might choose to retaliate. But both sides would do whatever they could to keep it from escalating any further. A full-fledged war is unlikely. That would be a lose-lose situation.

    What happened the last time Japan invaded China???? The Japanese are better fighters,with superior intellect,but the Chinese breed like roaches,so they would out number the japanese,eventhough why has not China invaded Japan like its tried other countries,like Vietnam,or now the Philippines(tried recently),because the japanese are strong,have technology,money,intellect,and friends,people love them. It would just be a waste of money,blood,time,and undeveloped war.No one would conquer each other,its draw,only now,with hate and unprosperity between them,shame as they are the same race.

    Nothing

    There already too much bloodshed through history

    USA would side with Japan because it is a ally and of course due to the agreement surrender we must aid them

    However the USA currently owes much debt and also has plenty of business with china therefore it would be pointless to fight us because they are debting us

    Nobody wins in a war. With the one-child policy, how many Chinese families really want to lose their only baby to warfare? How unfair would it have to be to have rural families send their kids to the front because they have more of them?

    War is a loser's game.

  • There is no real advantage in any military conflict.

    Put your death wish away. No happening, but China.
