gets closer everyday.
I hope it is sooner than later as Japan's military edge against China slips every day.
Instead business was left unfinished and we are still today having to deal with the Korean hermit kingdom and the China, who seems to be encroaching on all of its neighbours save for Russia (who knows when it will be their turn).
The Chinese aren't going to back down until they receive a serious smack down. Overwhelming force is all they understand because in the great scheme of things they still see themselves as the Middle Kingdom....somehow owed respect by the inferior barbarians inhabiting the rest of the world
In fairness, many Japanese see themselves as just as superior to everyone else in Asia, even today. A look at popular culture and comments by politicians/public figures showcase a disturbing superiority complex that is at times very racist.
While I'll side with a democracy over a dictatorship, the Japanese aren't exactly innocents in this dispute - they've been almost as aggressive and ridiculous as the Chinese have been.

Yes, the Japanese claims on Chinese islands have been quite troubling as have been the frequent intrusions into Chinese waters by Japanese nuclear submarines.
Oh, wait.
That was the Chinese doing all that to Japan.
So what have the Japanese done that equates to what China is doing not just to Japan, but to countries all over the SCS?
That was the Japanese - and it re-ignited this entire issue - which until then had largely been a diplomatic issue, not a military one.

Tack on idiots like that loudmouth racist Shintaro Ishihara saying he was going to buy the islands and you suddenly have a major problem.
There is plenty of blame for both sides on this one...
Which nation seized another nation's fishing trawler in 2010?
As I recall Canada did the same thing to a Spanish trawler some years back. Canada was correct in that action and Japan was equally correct in theirs.

China provoked that confrontation, not Japan.

Japanese islands being bought by any Japanese citizen are not a concern for China. Period.

I look forward to your being equally concilliatory to China when they demand their fair share of your Arctic territory.

The thugs in Beijing are also snorting around about potential claims on Hawaii and we're not going to be nice about it if they try to enforce them. Likewise, Japan has every right in the world to defend their sovereignty over their territories regardless of China's opinion.

That's why there is a dispute - had they been at the table in 1951, maybe this mess could have been avoided...
As for China, I'm not too worried. It desperately wants to get on the Arctic Council to get a voice in the region and to do so it must recognize the sovereignty of the members of the Council (of which Canada is);

Arguably, if China becomes a member then they'd have sovereignty, wouldn't they?
Now I am sure you don't read it that way but I'm pretty comfortable thinking that Beijing .

China's status would be that of , only have territorial rights.
I don't see any benefit for having them involved, however.

They do.
Locking radars was SOP for the Soviets when I was a few years younger in my RCN career. Didn't hear quite the level of bitching you hear today.
If China and Japan are beginning behave like the Western Powers and the Warsaw Pact did during the Cold War, IMO that says something.
