Ha! Major confirmation of my claim that Saudi Arabia has less oil than ordinary people have been led to believe:
That's, like, news, man.
To those who don't follow the petroleum industry at all, that is.

Shortage of resources such as oil and metals could lead to an economic conflict between the U.S. and Asia, and also between the EU and Asia. China has thousands of years of tricky politics experience. Japan also has an old history. The U.S. is young in comparison. Of course, I'm not entirely sure that there is a strong bond between China and Japan among the leaders of those countries, but I strongly suspect there is.
... I think China still remembers the Rape of Nanking...
Why do you suspect that?

Much of oil statistics is kept secret and much of it is questionable. For example, some decades ago Saudi Arabia suddenly doubled its 'proven' reserves of oil, just like that. It was for manipulative reasons, an increase only on paper. Not only that, the figures for the reserves remained unchanged year after year. Infinite oil supply! Hardly.
In other words, you're not familiar with the concept of 'oil reserves'. (Hint: it's separate from 'oil in place'.)

Follow the media. Often when mainstream media pushes something very hard it's in cooperation with political interests. Some decades ago there was some kind of huge uproar in a country, millions of people dead or something like that, and the western media was completely silent about the whole thing! It was not until many years after that people in the west learned about it. This event in Libya is opposite of that, with mainstream media pushing very hard to inform the public about a military invasion of that country.
So you have no evidence.
It's not my own amateur guesses. Many experts have talked about how Saudi Arabia has presented fake statistics.
Yes, but none of that is news. Saudi statistics have been deemed questionable a long, long time ago. That doesn't change the fact that the concept of oil reserves seems foreign to you -- a country's oil reserves can grow overnight, even if no new oil deposits are found. None of this is mystical if you know the concept you use.
Sure, but there is a distinction between the people and the leaders of the people. The leaders of both China and Japan are in bed with each other.
No.
If Japan is in bed with anyone, it's the US. We did drag the country out of the feudal era then eventually rebuild it into a modern democracy. While not officially allies, the US probably has a closer relationship diplomatically with Japan than it does to any other country except Canada and maybe the UK. From the Japanese perspective, we are rivals, but extremely friendly ones.
The idea that Japan would collude with China against the US is patently ridiculous.
