    Well it isn’t like Japan is invading China. Seems like they just want to make it clear they will in fact respond if China tries something with Taiwan. Japan doesn’t have to beat China, they just have to make it not worth it. And they’d have Taiwan and hopefully the US supporting them in that effort.
