Are you disputing that the US has the world's strongest military?
One would be stupid not to. China factually has a larger military and it would be naive to assume they dont have the same technology. If they Chinese military deployed like the US does they would decimate any country they invaded.

What? Right now they're relying on US military, which has bases throughout Japan. And back when Japan was active militarily, they spent far more time attacking than defending.

Japan was decimated by the US at the end of WWII and cowed into submission. Because Japan was largely removed from armed conflict after that time (when the US became its primary protector) and, because it's been removed for so long, the idea of fully rearming is unpopular. (Granted, people will point to other cultural trends as well, but that's kind of a sub-discussion.)
The US forced them into the situation theyre in now by testing bombs and flexing. The US did the same to Germany. Why Italy was left alone I have no idea. I guess without Germany and Japan, Italy doesnt offer much. Japan is more than capable of defending itself. And the US basically does the same thing in the way of attacking.
