Could Japan have ever conquered China? Assume no allied military

japan is pretty tiny compared to china yo

No, probably not with them being spread across taiwan, the phillipines, korea, vietnam, burma and the pacific islands, but had they not spread that far they might have. China was, and still is, mostly poor, stupid and illiterate serfs

I wish the Japanese would have exterminated the koreans and taken that land for themselves and burned every pot of Kim Chi on that shitty peninsula

A better question would be could China ever conquer Japan considering their history.

Yes
Before the end of the century

But then they'll need to deal with a population feral love bots

Commies would've taken over China regardless of who's controlling China at the time

>>28369684
Probably if the Chinese were still a big ass dynasty and the Japanese isles were still fragmented into warlors states.

Oh and the Chinese had the weather channel, just in case.

Commies gonna com man.
Realistically speaking though, all the peasants would side with anyone who would give the arms and freedom to kill landowners. They were really really buttmad

The Japanese pretty much got stuck in China by 1939, with no further gains until Operation Ichi-Go in 1944, which was a last ditch offensive and faced only disorganized resistance due to commies and nationalists already holding forces back to whack each other in anticipation to the continuation of the civil war.
