British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida have signed a major defence pact that makes it easier for the two nations to engage in joint military exercises and deploy troops to each other’s countries. The agreement reached on January 11, 2023, was seen as part of an effort to confront China in the Indo-Pacific region. The deal makes the UK the third country allowed to deploy troops in Japan, following the US and Australia. Military experts say Japan could eventually be a candidate to join the Aukus security alliance between Australia, the US and Britain.

  1. 我在想如果真爆发世界大战,最后结果又是怎么样的?毕竟中国是个大陆国家,国土纵深很大,工业生产能力也很强,人口也多,真打起来,那可是比二战还残酷吧。

  2. You know if you are brainwashed by western media that china is a threat, that may be true for japan and the uk only. These countries hurt china the most if you look back in history. If ever china attacks someone, it will be these countries. I guarantee it.

  3. They are preparing for war. A war will come to them. Lessons from current events, no need to visit WWI and WWII: Ukraine and Allies have prepared for war before 2014. Then a war in 2014. They prepared again. Then A war in 2022. The question is just when.
