@niubi Yeah, but every time China's "analysts" bet on a US collapse, they get it wrong.

@JEPomfret @Aelkus "We"? Dunno about that. Not too many Chinese or Japanese are doing that. They have their own history.

@niubi @Aelkus Good question. But that's what's happening. And one fears that PRC leaders will push the envelope as far as it goes

@Aelkus Only for Euro-centrists. But the Asian history at that time -- a rising Japan, a weak China and the US response -- is relevant.

@Aelkus Not necessarily 1914. One could argue that US tolerance of PRC bullying has echoes in its support of Japan in the early 20th century

@niubi Because now he makes more money in China than in the USA. Or maybe his Mandarin is rusty

ajw.asahi.com/article/asia/c… And Kurt Campbell says he'd like cooler heads to prevail? The game of chicken with China is only just beginning.

Chatter in China points to a probe of a former employee of PM Wen. Politically, smart; hit corruption and tarnish a backer of pol reform.

project-syndicate.org/commentary/a-s… This oped by new Japanese PM Abe is uncharacteristically blunt. PLA Daily then urged the army to "prepare for war."

thediplomat.com/flashpoints-bl… We'd all do well to remember that in 1894 when Japan faced off against China, everyone predicted a Chinese victory.

Xi gave two speeches at the Party School and Zhengfa Daxue, not yet released. When they are, the honeymoon with China's liberals will end.
