[Machine Translation] It is conceivable that the United States and China could go to war without escalating to a nuclear war. The four most likely areas to erupt are Taiwan, the Nansha Islands, the Senkaku Islands, and the Nansei Islands, which include Okinawa. If the U.S. and China enter into a state of war, Japan, which hosts U.S. military bases, will inevitably be drawn into the war. The Chinese military cannot be underestimated, and Japan will surely be involved. Who will be the winner? Four scenarios: "Taiwan," "Nansha Islands," "Senkaku Islands," and "Nansei Islands. The first realistic depiction by a former top Self-Defense Forces officer.
