Japan doesn't need to 'fan fears' when China does that on it's own. Or are we conveniently ignoring tensions between China and SEA because it fits this guy's Japan-bashing narrative? Oy vey, that evil Shinzo Abe! How dare he seek the right to collective self defense afforded to every other nation state on the planet, including China. Clearly a goose-stepping fascist!

I guess we are the the "last resort" phase now. So this means the protestors are correct ?
China military and especially their Navy is pretty much crap and isn't Japan an island(s). People need to rationalize their "China fears" so I can understand them better.
I am actually more concerned with the millions of rioters/protestors in China than their military. +Food/Water/Air quality is very poor.
