Notice that the entire Japan is covered by China’s medium range DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile which is the Aircraft Carrier killer 外界盛传为“航母杀手”。

Here is a list of DF missiles which can cover entire Japan from mainland China.

东风-17 乘波体高超音速机动助推滑翔导弹 hypersonic glide vehicle with range 1800 to 2500 km. Even DF-17 hypersonic glide missile can cover entire Japan. Can Japan survive barrages of hypersonic missile strikes? No.

Without the need of using PLA Navy or PLA Air Force, the entire Japan is within PLA Rocket Force’s missile strike. 👈🏻

China’s H-6 bomber has combat range of 3,500 km. J-20 stealth fighter jet has combat range of 2,000 km. The distance between Qingdao and Hokkaido is 2,142 km. Do you realize that a common characteristics of Chinese combat aircraft is its long range? Why? Because China has designed them to be able to cover entire Japan when flown from China, without the need of using any aircraft carrier.

Military bases in Okinawa would be destroyed in early stages of military strikes. Distance between mainland China and Taiwan is much closer than the distance between military bases in Kyushu and Taiwan. Even in geographic location, Japan is at disadvantage. There is no place in entire Japan not covered by PLA’s missile arsenal.

China’s top hypersonic nuclear ICBMs such as DF-41 and DF-61 not even needed in this scenario. Those can hit anywhere in the world at hypersonic speed and bypass all modern missile defense system. 

Those are for America.
