Ah well, 'ai kawarazu', comments pulled from everyone's butts, based on imagination only. As usual.

Japan being cast as the known 2nd rate space power in Asia behind China is a hard one to swallow (for the Japanese), no matter how you look at it.

I would agree if your basic premise that Japan is the "known 2nd rate space power in Asia" were…
