also japan has a lot more storms than china

england and france is a more or less unique relationship

so china didn't bother colonizing japan

or annexing it

japan could assert independence

Japan helped pirates attack China for a few hundred years (The Wokou) iirc

like they could lol

yeah, because it's an island and shit

the chinese sucked due

there wasn't a rivalry, because japan couldn't match the power of china

they lost in vietnam

not until industrialization tipped the scales

they lost in manchuria

But, they still were heavily influenced by china, right

like

anyway, that's the reason

again

it has to do with geography

literally

one of their writing systems is ltierally chinese characters

anyone who trades

with another nation

meanwhile, france and germany were similar in power, so they became rivals

is influenced by them

dude

Yes but it's one sided

fucking france

also either one invading the other was easy

uses the same lphabet

due to landlockage

as germany

so fucking what

China influenced Japan WAY MORE than vice versa

they descend from a common ancestor

again, stop making comparisons to europe

they are not the same

they are the same

hahaha

because rome was the china equivalent

guys, just listen to what i said

Yea japan is influenced a lot by China
