Just because the boy cried wolf last time doesn't mean there isn't an actual wolf this time.
You're comparing the hysteria around Japan to the hysteria around China. If you compare the facts about Japan to the facts about China, you get a completely different picture.
Facts:
1. China is implementing a massive military build.
2. China has started to expand its territory.
3. China has repeatedly hacked the most sensitive US gov departments and industries.
4. China recently had an all powerful dictator rise to power.
5. China has covertly supported North Korean's ICBM program in a proxy war against the US.
6. China has allied itself with Russia against the US.
- nabla9 9y agoTwo last things are not true. China has not supported North Korean ICBM program. North Korea apparently has blueprints of early Chinese nuclear design, but they received it trough Pakistan. North Korea has received more help from freelancing Russian rocket scientists than it received from the China. China is not allied with Russia. At best they are exploiting the conflict between Russia and US to get military technology transfer and cheap energy from Russia. Russians don't trust Chinese and the feeling is mutual.
