Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and his of right-wing political comrades(Shintaro Ishihara, Hasimoto, Katsuto Momii etc...) have transformed an area once prosperous and peaceful with trade and tourism, into a war of hatred-based words.
South Korea and China had suffered immensely under Japan's colonial occupation, just as many African countries suffered under British and European colonial rule.
Japan, which surrendered to, and is still occupied in parts by the USA, has a special security pact with the US, whereby the US would protect Japan from attack under the Japan-US Security Treaty.
Increasingly, America has been sabra-rattling towards China, while Japan has been taking aim at South Korea and China.
But imagine two humorous outcomes.
1. Japan vs South Korea War. Ignited by a Takashima/Dokdo Island dispute, American military in South Korea would be attacking American military in Japan and vise versa.
2. USA vs China. If China and Taiwan formed a confederation, with Hong Kong and Macau, China would gain all of Taiwan's weapons, including over 800 fighter planes, missiles, warships and submarines and WMD. All capable to strike the USA's regional bases. Weapons provided by America.
So time to take a few deep breaths, calm down, and think of the good old benefits of trade and tourism...
