As if China (or anyone else for that matter) is afraid of the US with Stickman O’Wimpo at the helm.

Is Japan involved just to keep leash on China? Or do they have other interests involved?

America is weak and in the process of being neutered.
The world is getting what they've wanted for the past 50 years, a post-American world. Might want to increase your military spending.

....Last month, China painted a Japanese military helicopter Gee. What color did they 'paint' it? (I've been working in radar and antenna engineering for decades and have never used that term - ever. Locked on, 'dead meat', 'toast', 'up sh!t creek' --- but never 'painted')

O'Wimpo will stake claim on the Yellow (pun intended) Sea.

The article is poorly titled. It is about Chinese agression in the region, not just the South China Sea. China engaged the Japanese near disputed islands that are northeast of Taiwan.
And yes, weakened US leadership is a part of the issue.

GayMuzzie has demonstrated ambivalence about commitments to her allies.
The result here will be an arms-race in Asia.
We’ll also see that in the Middle-East.

In movies and maybe pilots. Not people that build them. It is a a stupid term that means nothing but being hit by RF and that could be survelilance/acquisition or track mode.

Too bad the Free Trade Communists who blindly support Free Trade with Communist China will make it hard for the US to deal w this situation. Free Traders just keep helping the enemy
