I believe that Japan can defend and hold its own keep. However, Japanese Foreign Policy and Japan's Armed Forces is so deeply intertwined with American Foreign Policy that it will not be as easy as "kicking" them out the next day per se. If Japan is to remove US Forces from the country, this will take time to realize strategically, tactically, and operationally. There will need to be a revision of National Defense Policy, There will need to be actual revision of National Military Command Objectives. All of these will be meted and addressed by our Bicameral Legislature, it has to be adopted by the Supreme Court , means to say that this must be seen as Constitutionally viable. Lastly, This must be approved by His Imperial Majesty The Emperor.
In regards to our Chinese friends; there is no ill feeling with them. And conflict between Japan and China is a radical forgone conclusion. China is our largest trading partner, greater even than our trade with the Untied States.
Sometimes I think that Japan is to the US in the East what Britain is in the West; for godsake people come up with an independent foreign policy.
His Imperial Majesty has as much power as the Queen of England; if the Japanese Parliament decides 'the Americans ought to go back and Japan reclaims her right to an independent foreign policy', the Emperor can't really do anything about it !
