The main problem here is that the Chinese military is well aware they can't stand up to the Japanese in a fight, but the Chinese populace is not.

China claims 'success' in patrolling disputed islands

China says six boats sent to disputed islands at the centre of a row with Japan were ''successful'' in patrols to show Beijing's jurisdiction there.

The statement comes after protests spread to dozens of Chinese cities.

China sent the boats to the islands, called Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan, after Tokyo sealed a deal to buy three of the islands.

But if it's a policing war, the Japanese Coast Guard has more than enough ships to continue to match every Chinese Coast Guard ship with a bigger, faster, and better armed Japanese one.

The Chinese have no chance of winning unless they skip the prelimimaries and open the conflict by smothering Okinawa with CJ-10 land attack cruise missiles. That might involve the US and lead to complications.

If China moves—Obama will do noting—they own us—if they call in their notes we are bankrupt.
