And, China will not exactly welcome them with tender embrace. They’ll accept hegemony over Japan, but Japan will wish they never had put themselves in that position.

Yes, there is no love lost between the Chineseand Jpanese. andthe Chinese are not liked in Japan either, they are deeply distrusted by the people on the street.,p> But there is also as you say, a strategic and economic evolution.

The present primeminister is weak. He seems to have an anti -military ideology, and will likely weaken his nation and its guraded waters.Liberalism now controls much of Japan. And if it abandons its protector, will it also abandon its own military and sacrifice it to inncreased fuding in social programs in Japan?

In any event, the present evolution is for an increase in China's hegemony over Japan, simmply because Obama is abandoning all of our traditional allies, and will replace them with Veneazuala, Cuba, Mexico and so on.Canada is also beinng distanced from the USA.

Obama will likely leave Japan hanging in the wind, just like he did with Poland, and will soon do with Taiwan, after his China visit.
