China Threatens to NUKE Japan if It Defends Taiwan
2021-07-18
[PJ Media] Through its military TV channel, China has threatened to use nuclear weapons — first — if Japan intercedes in defense of Taiwan.

The undated chilling video is clear in its message. "When we liberate Taiwan, if Japan dares to intervene by force, even it if only deploys one soldier, one plane and one ship, we will not only return reciprocal fire but also start a full-scale war against Japan," the video says.

"We will use nuclear bombs first. We will use nuclear bombs continuously until Japan declares unconditional surrender for the second time," referring to the end of World War II and Japan’s surrender after the United States used atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

China-watching blogger Jennifer Zeng downloaded the clip above and others from a Chinese official online video channel.

Later in the same post, Zeng highlights another video from the same channel in which China proposes invading and capturing Japan and splitting it into four countries.

#18  Japan should respond by updating their constitution to remove the limitation on a defense only military. Let the Chinese reflect upon the horrors of WW2.

#15  You can rest assured the 3GD is on numerous targeting lists. I sincerely hope the SOB's are mindful of that.

#14  ^ For that it would be enough if we all just jumped up and down at the same time.

#13  What would a relatively small nuclear device (or a large explosive warhead on a cruise missile do to the Three Gorges dam?
Asking for a friend.

#12  /\ Yes, interesting to note the lack of 'Wet Market' discussion of late. Appears that one has run completely out of gas.

#11  ^ I think the CCP has already crossed the bio-war red line. It's just that nobody has fired back.

#10  We will use nuclear bombs continuously

Would an extrapolation which might include Chemical-Biological Warfare be likely ?

#9  We will use nuclear bombs continuously

Anybody who lives in the real world knows that such a thing is not possible anymore. Any attempt to use nukes in Asia, will begin a mutual destruction which will see China acutely fcuked.

The US is not the only country in the world that may fight alongside Japan, or deploy nukes on China. If America just stands aside and don't rush in to save China, other Asian nations would gleefully set back the tiny Hans a couple of decades. Only problem is, we can't expect Biden's America to do even that right.

#7  Spoiler alert, if the balloon goes up Japan may be as far as number 3 on the Chinese target list.

#5  I doubt Washington and the Deep State Department would end their fellation of Xi Jinping if the Chinese invaded and seized Hokkaido tomorrow afternoon.

#4  China continues to isolate itself. Words of a weak people. Standees of army personnel, equipment and so on. Just a big puff dragon bully strutting about with delusions of grandeur. Problem is as with the Democrats here they believe their own lies. Isolated as with Kim with nothing to offer the world but trouble. Japan has no respect for them. They are messing with the wrong country.

#3  Japan would be foolish to depend on the U.S. Nuclear Umbrella. Especially with Xi-den in the White house.
