If given a chance, the Japanese can build high quality military hardware that can destroy anything the Chinese throw at them. Chinese may have some smart people, but the Japanese are smarter and better at building high quality machines.

Quantity has a quality all its own.

If there is one thing China has is quantity.

A lot of quantity that is going to grow even larger.
