Except that China have millions of workers, idustrial capacity that can rival the US, the biggest army in Asia (if not the world), nuclear weapons and aircraft carriers that can launch actual fighting aircraft.

Japan has only a fraction of the army, workers and industrial might, no nuclear weapons and the closest thing it has to a carrier are 4 helcopter carriers, and they can only launch helicopters.
