He predicts Trump's best play is not immediate war over Taiwan but public support for a political reconciliation process that scares Japan into remilitarizing and buying more U.S. weapons.
Jiang expects Japan to remilitarize, join a coalition, and eventually send force to the Middle East, probably about a year away, with South Korea participating too.
If Japan militarizes under cover of the Iran war, China has little ability to stop it because Japan’s strength is maritime.
Jiang predicts North Korea, South Korea, and Japan will become more militaristic and nationalistic because they no longer trust America to protect global peace and trade routes.
Jiang says American retreat from the Middle East would trigger remilitarization in Japan and South Korea, European pressure for peace with Russia, and collapse pressure on the U.S. dollar's reserve role.
The second and third trends are remilitarization through nationalism or religion, and the breakup of global trade into mercantile blocs or regional dominance systems.
