Serious response would be that Japan wouldn't be alone, as attacking Japan would cause US forces stationed there to sortie and intercept.

Which would result in it more being China vs. Japan, USA, and maybe some other countries to boot.

The United States considers Japan to be one of its closest allies and partners. Japan is currently one of the most pro-American nations in the world, with 67% of Japanese viewing the United States favorably, according to a 2018 Pew survey; and 75% saying they trust the United States as opposed to 7% for China.

So yeah, if china attacked japan, the usa would be there and then if China attacked both Japanese and americans, every NATO ally would defend america. So china cannot win that war

For anyone who doesn't know, China absolutely hates Japan due to terrible war crimes in WW2.

The revenge beating won't be pretty at all if it were to happen.

I dont think it would change. There's still a lot of people alive there that were injured by or at least saw the bombings.

They'll eventually just forcefully take Taiwan and it will be Nazi Germany taking Austria all over again. The world will wag their finger but no one will want to start World War 3 over what they will say is a form of reunification. The question will then be is China smart enough to learn from history, and if not what will be their Poland?

No. You're just making assumptions based on past history

The US has an agreement to defend Taiwan if it is invaded by China and the military considers the possibility the most likely way WW3 would start.

I know this is just a hypothetical, but China isn't gonna attack anyone, they depend of us more than we need them. After all there's plenty of low income countries that would love to make our Iphones, and plastic crap.

they're sitting on enough plutonium and have the rocket tech to produce missiles within a year.

and that's not counting any assumed nukes that america has loaned them. the japanese government doesn't give a fuck about sentimentality if the alternative is complete destruction by china.

People forget that if war breaks out, theres not going to be a case of "literally the entire chinese military vs this small country". China will send a force they think is appropriate + extra and Japan could defend themselves against the initial attacks if their military leadership is skilled enough.

At this point WW3 breaks out and it becomes something like China + Russia + other vs US + UK + Japan + Aus/NZ + Others

Japan has all the tech to build nukes they just haven't done it. If the US pulled out suddenly there would be a window of vulnerability but unless China struck immediately they would close it.

China vs Japan without the US this second? Of course China would win. Conventionally they could probably win and unconventionally they could pop a nuke off on the other side of Mt Fuji and say Tokyo is next and Japan would have to surrender.
