Japan needs to develop atomics.

It would take them 24 hours to do so.

They just need to blow the three gorges dam to get a similar enough effect except with less nasty fallout blowing onto themselves- thats rather a big problem in Japan, Chinese pollution blowing over.

But meh, America has Japan covered on that front.

We just have to hope that story from a few months back about China secretly having a bazillion nukes was wrong....

I'm not sure that I see a particular downside to letting China nuke Japan into a slag heap, then retaliating.

You mean other than the complete collapse of the world economy?

That and the fact China would almost certain have some nukes left to hit the US.  I hate anime as much as the next guy, but that might be a high price to pay to wipe it out for good.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

On the plus side, labor would be a lot more valuable.

 The demise of Japan's entirety is only a tragedy for the world, not Japan itself. Loss of half of Japan would be a tragedy beyond expression, but all of it would be far better. Ichioku Gyokusai and waking from the ephemeral dream of utsushiyo :)

India can't even provide their people with toilets, they certainly can't pick up the slack from the loss of Chinese manufacturing.

You ever see a Chinese toilet?  Yikes.

No price is too high for that.  I'm quite willing to accept the loss of, say, LA, Detroit, and Missouri if Japan is gone.
