WillJapan Be Invaded Again ?

  Mongolia  is almost the only country to have attempted to invade Japan, except for the U.S. occupation after World War II. The Mongolia-Korea allied force attacked Japan twice, in 1274 and in 1281.
 
Back in the 13th century, China was occupied by Mongolia, so those attacks effectively represented almost the only times the Japanese have faced the risk of occupation by the Chinese.
 
Japan luckily succeeded in repelling the Mongolian invasions, thanks to strong typhoons, or kamikaze (literally 'God's wind'), but it is obvious that typhoons would not save Japan if China tried to attack and invade in the 21st century.
 
It seems that some American acquaintances try to apply a domino theory to Beijing's ambitions. They often say, "If Hong Kong falls, the next is Taiwan, and then Okinawa follows."
