#1 China's got to be getting nervous about the Japanese reaction to North Korea. I can't imagine it would take Japan more than a few months to go nuclear (or thermonuclear).

Maybe there will be another train 'accident' on Kim's return from Beijing.

#2 This is well and good we are doing this. However we need to remember China and others still have a huge score to settle with Japan. They see what we do in a different light. It's not something we can relate to at all. People all over Asia have not and will not forget Japans actions in WW2. Japans apologies are always mushy mouthed and seen as insincere. These Shinto Shrine visits are not a good sign either.

At some point China plans to visit on Japan what Japan visited on China even if it takes 100 years more. China's people will be 100% Behind that. I want no part of that trouble when it happens.

#3 SPoD,

True, but that is one of the huge misunderstandings outside of Asia.

It is not just WWII, but long before, even thousand years back the Japanese were raging on Korea and others. This goes further back than just WWII.

That is why China and others must take a serious look at this. The US and Japan itself were able to shift this mindset in the Japanese post WWII / During the occupation.

It is why I say the world and Jihadis need to seriously consider if they want to re-awaken Japan in this mode. The good news is, they are on our side this time. The bad news is, that history is always there.

#4 It is foolish to judge the current generation of Japanese on their grand-fathers. Alas, the world is filled with fools.

Oh and Norks, we are looking at you when we say this too. Kisses!
