Why does the Japanese always have ambitions for China?

China has a vast territory and rich natural resources. Compared with Japan, which has a small land area, they are salivating.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan rose rapidly, and the raw materials and markets needed for its domestic development could not be met.

Combining the above two points, the Japanese began to invade China.

Then there is the nationality of Japan, which worships the strong and bullies the weak. Didn't you say that Japan was defeated by the United States recently? Because up to now, only the United States has directly attacked Japanese mainland, so they worship the United States, always regard China as the sick man of East Asia, and despise China as the hegemonic nation. Combined with the above, they will invade China.

In modern times, with the rise of China, the Japanese were afraid of China's revenge, and they would try their best to hinder the development of China.

Economically, because Japan's resources are not as much as China's, while competing with other countries for resources internationally, China will also need resources when it rises, and it is bound to compete with Japan for markets, resources and so on.

Let's talk about it now. The Japanese don't have that idea as they did then. I'm not sure about this, but they will still be wild in China or hinder China everywhere.

If there is something wrong with my own humble opinion, please give me your advice.
