The Underlying Causes of Japanese Aggression
(Original Title: 日本暴行的近因)
In this period of heightened tension, we witness Japan’s audacious expansionist maneuvers. Against the backdrop of an evolving global landscape, Japan’s aggressive policies are driven by strategic objectives and national interests. The actions of Japan cannot merely be viewed in isolation; they are a part of a larger plan to assert dominance in the neighboring regions. With careful observation, one can recognize the long-term implications of these assertive gestures, both for Japan and the surrounding nations.
