imagine if Japan joins in

that's a hard doubt, right there

way too much bad blood

but i guess till China relies on american markets, nothing much will chane

lol plis, SCO can topple the US, who wouldn't want that chance

I mean, Japan was murderously purging communists before most Americans ever even heard of vietnam

eh its not 1904 anymore

the Japanese and Chinese gets along as well as oil and water. Their hatred for each other runs quite deep

yea the hatred between chinks and japs is ancient my dude

if you think the chinese have forgotten the rape of nanking you are mistaken lol

lulz you lot think japan has no relationship with China?

lmao

tis gonna be fun

i didnt say no relationship

then there's the russo-jap war(s), the japanese acquisition of lands in CHina after WWI, the jap invasion of china in WWII, the rape of nanking, and going back further, that time they tried to invade through korea and got hard fucked for it

but they haete ich other

i just doubt them joining the SCO because japan is also being pozzed

lieke oil and water

Relationship of convenience, but the moment push comes to shove. They'll gut each other w/o hesitation

and the rivalry

india and pakistan are in it

they love each other?

japan has a age old rivalry with china and is being pozzed. i dont see them joining any time soon

and india and pakistan arent as pozzed

lmao they just had a war in the 90s bro

and planning another one soon

their disputes are more purely over land and resources, not the same

well then if thats the case the SCO wont be as effective if members are literally starting wars with each other lol

its just optics, Engaged.

this guy

its fun to ponder though and i could see it happening <:thinking_clown:590855640268668928> we are in clown world.

but i dont see it in say... the next few years.

I don't see any reason why Japan wouldn't join in. If china can get the pipeline done soon enough and if their biilateral trade and bonds work out it will be a game changer. They will control the entire asian continent

its Japan and China basically propping up the US market by buying treasury bonds

only because of the market access

hmm it sure would be a shame if something happened to that pipeline wouldnt it

with free trade within asia and access to oil its gonna be too sweet

yeah, that little alliance will fall the fuck apart the instand India makes a serious move to Dam the Indus, Pakistan's going nuclear in an instant

Thats why you're seeing more sanctions on Russia and Iran right now

nibba this happens and the [redacted] will literally blow up the pipeline
