There are ongoing efforts since 2002 to establish an ASEAN Parliament similar to European Union . Together we ASEANS are very strong Economically and Militarily. They can't bully and look down on us if we are United as One.

@s2moon777@goodkidbikecity It's only a minority of southeast asians and supporters and a minority of south koreans. The rest of the world doesn't care at all.
Let me summarize why China must wage war against Japan.
1. For the past 3,000+ years, Chinese civilization has been expanding inland, gradually incorporating Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and other west regions into its territory. However, because the ocean was of little use to ancient agricultural China, it never expanded towards the sea. But the ocean now is extremely important to modern industrial China, so Chinese civilization must expand towards the sea. Japan is the biggest obstacle between China and the ocean.
2. For thousands of years, the main enemies of Chinese civilization were the nomadic peoples in the north and west, but they are no longer a threat in mordem time. The main threat to Chinese civilization now comes from the maritime peoples in the east, namely Japan and the United States. Ancient China was able to turn Tibetans, Xinjiang peoples, and Mongols into Chinese, and modern China can certainly turn Japanese into Chinese. They are in fact no different in appearance from Chinese.
3. The historical animosity between China and Japan cannot be resolved without war. Japan is the biggest reason for China's century of humiliation. Western colonial powers such as Britain and France essentially only economically colonized China, without attempting to occupy Chinese land; Russia was annexing China's borders, but did not threaten the survival of Chinese civilization. However, Japan first disrupted China's industrialization process in the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894, and then invaded the core area of ββChinese civilization in 1937 and killed 30+ million people, clearly attempting to exterminate the 5000 years long Chinese civilization. Such kind of hatred cannot be resolved without a third Sino-Japanese war.
4. China is incredibly powerful now, but it will inevitably decline again, split, and fall into civil war after hundreds of years from now. This is the cyclical pattern of Chinese history. At that time, Japan will obviously invade China again. Today's powerful China must take responsibility for its future generations and solve the Japanese problem once and for all.
5. Unifying Taiwan is the collective will of the Chinese people, but unifying Taiwan by force would kill tens of thousands, or even more and bomb Taiwan into ruins. Taiwanese people are, after all, Chinese, and Taiwan is Chinese territory. Frankly, the Chinese do not want to do that. However, the Chinese do not have this moral burden regarding Japan. After collapsing Japan, Taiwan will be terrified to pee in the pants, and they will obviously agree to peaceful unification.
6. Collapsing Japan would be more beneficial for China in establishing its ideal Asian order than occupying Taiwan. Imagine that after the military unification of Taiwan, Japan and the United States would certainly seize the opportunity to encourage countries like South Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore to form an Asian NATO, just as Finland and Norway joined NATO after the outbreak of the Ukraine war. However, defeating Japan would make all Asian countries realize that the United States has been marginalized in East Asia, and their mentality would automatically shift towards a China-centric approach.
7. The United States is certainly aware of these factors, and providing aid to Japan is inevitable. China's current military strength is sufficient to defeat Japan or the US-Japan alliance in East Asia. However, to prevent the US from escalating to nuclear war after its conventional forces are defeated, China needs to increase its nuclear arsenal to 2,000-3,000 warheads to ensure that Americans remain calm.
8. In fact, if China mobilizes 5 million troops, 10 million drones and robert dogs, 1 million hypersonic missiles, 10,000 fighter jets, 1,000 warships, and 100 submarines (these numbers are not hard for China's population and industrial capacity), and if China has show the determination to fight a third world war with the United States, I believe the Americans will back down. TACO when facing the strong is an American thing, not just a Trump thing. If the British can give up South Asia, the Americans of course will give up East Asia.
9. A justifiable reason is needed for China to initiate war. The best reason, of course, is that Japan, as a defeated nation in World War II, is attempting to develop nuclear weapons, and China will never allow this. Furthermore, both the United States and Japan may face the possibility of severe economic crises in the coming years, and the United States by then may be far weaker than imagined. Of course, China still needs to prepare for a potential World War III with the United States.
10. It won't be too long. I hope Xi can lead China to complete such an epic mission, not his successor.
π΄ JUST IN
The era of American air dominance is over.
The Chinese Air Force is on the rise with the entry into service of over 300 fifth-generation heavy stealth fighters (excluding the J-20A/J-20S)!
The American F-22: Stagnating at only 185 heavy stealth fighters, with a very low mission completion rate of 67%.
This is just the beginning!
ASEAN NEEDS TO BE SO FUCKING RICH AND SO FUCKING STRONG THAT IT CAN'T BE BULLIED ANYMORE BY "FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES".
The only way to that is if we ASEAN Unite as One Country, One Government.
