So, for example, it has an aging population.

It has the oldest population in the world.

That's a huge constraint on the future growth potential of Japan.

Another problem for Japan is that it is resource dependent.

It relies on imports for its resources.

And Taiwan blocks off the Strait of Malacca, right?

Because Japan requires most of its energy from the GCC through the Strait of Malacca, and Taiwan will be a barrier.

So if Taiwan were to reunify with China, then basically Japan can be blockaded and they could be starved.

And the other major issue with Japan is its economy, where for the past 30 years it's in a deflationary spiral because of its excessive debt burden.

So there are fundamental weaknesses to Japan, but I'm a historian and I study historical patterns.

And what I've seen is that the Japanese people are incredibly resilient.

You go back to the 13th century and the Mongols made it not once but twice.

And at this time, Japan was very much a feudal nation divided into different fiefdoms.

And they came together as a people to defeat the greatest empire in the world at that time, not once but twice.

And then you go to the middle of the 19th century when China was being carved up by these Western industrial powers.

And it seemed as though Japan was going to be carved up as well.

But the Japanese engaged in something called the Meiji Restoration.

And in 20 to 30 years time, they went from a feudal backward nation into an industrial power that ultimately defeated Russia in the Russian-Japanese War of 1905.

And then you go to World War II, when America devastated Japan, not just nuclear strikes, but also the firebombings.

So at the end of World War II, Japan was completely devastated.
