More divide and conquer. "With China’s rise, Japan shifts to the right - The Washington Post"

"With China’s rise, Japan shifts to the right - The Washington Post: "Japan is in the midst of a gradual but significant shift to the right, acting more confrontationally in the region than at any time since World War II.

The shift applies strictly to Japan’s foreign policy and military strategy, not social issues, and has been driven both by China’s rapid maritime expansion — particularly its emphatic claims on contested territory — and by a growing sense here that Japan should recover the clout squandered amid two lost decades of economic stagnation.""-Washington Post.


Me now- This is classic nonsense from the western press, and the western governing elite, where they don't try to expose a truth but instead attempt to establish a narrative that works to their geopolitical, and, or economic advantage. Classic divide and conquer in the case or Japan and China. Japan unfortunately is governed by an elite that derives it very legitimacy from being the representatives of a Western founded domestic order. These people are willing to run their country into the rocks, literally, and metaphorically, in order to serve Western interests of containing China, and maintaining Japan as a client state, albeit a rapidly ageing, economically bankrupt one
