If it is scheduled that China and the coalition of Japan and the US are entering war with each other in three years, Japan would produce 1,000 F-15s (on a license vase) and the US would 3,000 F-15s while blocking trade with China who would then produce only a hundred or so advanced attack planes.

It is out of question.  China cannot make war against the US and Japan from the beginning.  Stupid journalists in the world are shouting that China is going to overwhelm Japan and the US with its air force soon.  Before China starts to mobilize resources for war, 10,000 riots will be set off in all the Chinese cities, towns, and villages to topple the stupid Chinese Communist regime.

Anyway, China should stop stupid build-up of its military force.

In Japan nobody would proudly say that he or she works in a defense company if he or she does.

Japan is a peace loving country as a national policy, so that nobody in Japan would proudly say that he or she works in a defense company if he or she does.  But circumstances must be very different in the US, the UK. France, Italy, and the EU.

State of Chinese Defense Industry 

China is a military state.

No one in China is allowed to criticize the Chinese military.  And, probably no one in China is allowed to criticize the Chinese weapon industry.

Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC)


Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) is a corporation, centered on aviation, but capable of providing whole-value chain services to customers in many fields, from research and development to operation and from manufacturing to finance. Its business units cover Defense, Transport Aircraft, Engine, Helicopter, Avionics and Systems, General Aviation, Aviation Research, Flight Test, Trade and Logistics, Assets Management, Finance Services, Engineering Planning and Construction, Automobile and etc. It owns almost 200 member companies, over 20 listed companies and approximately 400,000 employees. It is the first Chinese defense enterprise listed as the World Top500. On July 8 of 2010, AVIC ranked 330 among the newly published Fortune Top 500 enterprises.
http://www.china-defense-mashup.com/defense-manufactuers-data/aviation-industry-group

Most of the firms are subsidiaries of the eight-year-old China Aviation Industry Corp (AVIC). AVIC is divided into two divisions, AVIC I and II. The more predominately military of the two divisions, AVIC I describes itself as an ultra-large, state-owned enterprise with 240,000 employees that has mass-produced fighters, bombers, trainers and reconnaissance aircraft. It controls 47 manufacturing facilities, 31 research-and-development institutions, and 22 specialized companies, including Shenyang Aircraft Corp., Chengdu Aircraft Corp., Xi'an Aircraft Corp. and Shanghai Aviation Industrial Corp.

AVIC II, a "state-authorized investment organization under the direct management of the Central Government," controls 78 industrial enterprises, including the Hongdu Aviation Industry Group, Hanzhong Aviation Industry Co. and Changhe Aircraft Industry Group. The division is largely dedicated to commercial development, yet it has produced more than 5,500 aircraft, 700 helicopters, 23,000 aircraft engines and 10,000 tactical missiles.

Each year, AVIC I and II firms export commercial and civil airplane parts worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

In 2004, the 56-year-old Shenyang Aircraft - dubbed "the cradle of China's jet fighter aircraft" for its more than 20 models of aircraft, including the J-6 Farmer and J-8 Finback fighters - exported commercial parts worth $300 million to Airbus, BAE Systems, Boeing and De Havilland.

The same year, Chengdu Aircraft, which has built more than 2,500 planes of more than 10 types, including the recent Xiaolong (Fierce Dragon) fighter, posted more than $100 million in commercial exports. Its contracts included the assembly of MD-80/90 nose sections, Boeing 757 empennage, A320 rear passenger door and the No. 3 fuel tank for Dassault F-2000EX business aircraft.

And the deals keep coming. In June, Boeing signed contracts worth $500 million with four AVIC I and II subsidiaries to produce components for the 747 and the new 787 Dreamliner. Xi'an Aircraft will produce in-board wing flaps for the Boeing 747 and Hafei Aviation Co. will supply composite parts. And Tianjin-based BHA Aero Composites, a joint venture between AVIC I, Hexcel, and 40-percent partner Boeing, will supply composite panels for the 787 vertical fins.

Chengdu, which builds forward-entry and overwing-exit doors for the Next-Generation 737, will make ailerons and spoilers for the 747. It was selected as a 787 supplier in 2004, and on June 28, the first CAC-built composite 787 rudder came off the floor and headed for Everett, Wash., for installation on the first 787, to be delivered in 2008. On July 2, Bombardier Aerospace announced a joint venture with AVIC I to develop 90- and 149-seat versions of the ARJ21-900 commercial aircraft, set to begin production this year and enter service in 2011.

There is a theory that TPP is an American strategy to contain China.

However, for the Obama Administration to increase employment in America, it should request China to revalue its currency yuan.  However, the US Democratic Party has been traditionally friendly to China.  Former President Mr. Clinton respected China more than Japan.  President Mr. Obama does not look like resolutely standing China.  But, he must also realize that trade with China is a major cause of the high unemployment in the US as China is a major cause of deflation in Japan.  So, it is very interesting whether the Obama Administration can take a severe attitude against China.  But one thing true is that America, whether governed by Republicans or Democrats, cannot accept military hegemony of China over South East Asia.  It is pride of America.    

Anyway, if the US Democratic Administration, traditionally friendly with China, starts to contain China through TPP, or though a closer tie with Japan, a possible Republican administration of the US in 2013 would be a real threat to China.

"when even was come" - Kyoto

Around the Tokyo Station

KYOTO

A Japanese city Kyoto is well known in the world for its cultural value.

Kyoto became the capital of Japan in 794, since Emperor Kanmu transferred the capital from Nagaoka, 10 km south of Kyoto (Heian-kyo).  However, Emperor Kanmu had previously moved the capital from Nara (Heijyo-kyo) to Nagaoka in 784.

The Nara area, 50 km south of Kyoto over mountains, had been the political center of Japan since the establishment of the imperial authority around the 3rd century.  As Nara was then called Yamato, the imperial court of Japan in these areas are called the Yamato court.  Though capital of Japan had moved around Nara sometimes, the Nara area kept its significance as the power center and the cultural center of ancient Japan.  The major zone in Nara or Yamato where most of capitals were located is called Asuka.  But the capital fully modeling a Chinese one was eventually founded in Heijyo-Kyo in 710.

When Heijyo-Kyo was the capital of Japan, many Buddhist temples were built.  Japan was actually a Buddhist nation in this era though the imperial family observed its family religion of shintoism, too.  Even in the inner city of Heijyo-Kyo 46 Buddhist temples were built.  The most notable one is the Todaiji temple, the largest classic wooden building in the world, that houses Big Buddha or the world largest bronze statue of Buddha.

（The Todaiji Temple, the largest historical wooden structure, built in Nara in 743,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Ddai-ji

But monks and temples became a kind of political power as time went by.  They came to have a strong influence on the imperial court.  So, Emperor Kanmu decided to carry out capital relocation.  He finally settled in Kyoto and established the new capital called Heian-Kyo in 794.  So, though today Kyoto is famous for old Buddhist temples, it was to get out of the influence of the Buddhist circle in Nara or Yamato that Emperor Kanmu transferred the capital from Nara to Kyoto.

The point at issue here is that the capital Kyoto, namely Heian-Kyo, was built not according to a Buddhist philosophy but an ancient Chinese philosophy.  Even most of  former capitals in the Nara area were built partially by copying capitals of ancient Chinese dynasties.  The philosophy Kanmu adopted for Kyoto was called Fu-sui (Feng shui in Chinese).

Feng shui is a Chinese system of geomancy believed to use the laws of both Heaven (Chinese astronomy) and Earth to help one improve life by receiving positive qi...
Historically, feng shui was widely used to orient buildings—often spiritually significant structures such as tombs, but also dwellings and other structures—in an auspicious manner. Depending on the particular style of feng shui being used, an auspicious site could be determined by reference to local features such as bodies of water, stars, or a compass. Feng shui was suppressed in China during the cultural revolution in the 1960s, but since then has increased in popularity...

Qi (ch'i)
Qi (pronounced "chee" in English) is a movable positive or negative life force which plays an essential role in feng shui.[26] In feng shui as in Chinese martial arts, it refers to 'energy', in the sense of 'life force' or élan vital. A traditional explanation of qi as it relates to feng shui would include the orientation of a structure, its age, and its interaction with the surrounding environment including the local microclimates, the slope of the land, vegetation, and soil quality...

So, in the east of Kyoto, there was a river, actually the Kamo River.  In the west of Kyoto, there were two major roads, actually Sanin-Do and Sanyo-Do.  In the south of Kyoto, there was a big lake, actually the Ogura lake. And in the north there were mountains such as Mt. Kurama.  Today, namely 1200 years after, the major part of the terrain is not so different from the original ones, though the Ogura lake was totally reclaimed.

But more interesting is that Asuka, Heijyo-Kyo, Heian-Kyo, and a great shrine in Kumano are all aligned in one line in a larger scope.  Even two old shinto shrines, including the Ise Great Shrine, are connected through a line through Heian-Kyo.

So, Kyoto was planned well in various ways.  In 794, Japanese people were diligent in studying the environment in a super-natural way to finally build the imperial capital Kyoto.  They even built 80-meter (240 feet) pagodas.

Anyway, Fu-sui has worked well in these 1200 years.

Kyoto has been somewhat well preserved as the main center of the Japanese traditional culture. Though when samurai took over political power from the imperial court in the late 12th century and established their own capital in Kamakura, 50 km southwest of Tokyo, Kyoto kept its status as the imperial capital of Japan.  The original layout of Heian-Kyo was lost long time ago, and even the Kyoto Imperial Palace of today is not at the original location.  But, people living in Kyoto today still think they live in the culture center of Japan.  It is all power of Fu-sui.  The environment protected even the pride of Kyoto.  And, interestingly, the US air force did not raid Kyoto during WWII.  Cultural heritage of Kyoto was protected from war.

Now, is Tokyo protected by Fu-sui?  When the then samurai king Tokugawa Ieyasu chose Edo (Tokyo) as the samurai capital around 1600, did he check Fu-sui of Tokyo?  The answer seems to be yes.  Even in a larger scale than Kyoto, Tokyo is protected by Fu-sui in my view.  Therefore, the city survived the great earthquake in 1923 and the great Tokyo air raid by the US air force in 1945.  Tokyo has become the largest and mightiest city in the world today, most probably, due to Fu-sui.

As a review of fu-sui, a capital has to have a great river east, a big river and a major road west, a wider plain or a sea in the south, and mountains northward, since a kingdom in Asia is in the eastern north hemisphere.

According to Fu-sui, the Japanese Archipelago itself is situated well in a much larger scale.

And, Israel is also situated somewhat well, though as it is in the west of the Euphrates, the concept of the east and the west may be reversed from the case of Japan.

Now, you know that you have to carefully choose a place to live in or stay at, though Christ Jesus had no place to sleep on a pillow in.

By the way, "Fu" of Fu-sui means the wind and "sui" of Fu-sui means water.  Indeed, very ancient people made a great journey sensing the wind and looking for water.  Fu-sui is deeply rooted in humanities.

Finally "Kyo" of Kyoto means a royal capital or something large and "to" of Kyoto means a royal capital or something plenty in a number.

To make doubly sure, "To" of Tokyo means east and "kyo" of Tokyo means an imperial capital or something large.
