Features: Since ancient times, Japan's expansionist direction has been towards the continent, and China has been a historical geopolitical obstacle for it. In addition to conflicts of national interest, China and Japan have an extra layer of psychological and emotional conflicts compared to other countries. This unique contradiction was formed through long-term historical interactions.

This desire has risen and fallen over millennia without ceasing.
