China concerns me far more than the USSR ever did...and they did concern me.

They seem more reckless and willing to dance.

Or maybe it is just a lot of bravado..don’t know

Up to this point China’s aggression against its neighbors has been by ‘salami slicing’ – little moves in the Himalayas or the South China Sea which aren’t worth starting a war over. But occupying the Senkakus will be too big a slice for the Japanese to swallow. Chinese claims on Japanese territory go all the way up to the island of Kyushu. Stopping them in the Senkakus is going to be a lot easier than stopping them after they have taken Okinawa.

Seems to me like this is to put pressure and help set the stage on the takeover of Taiwan, which China clearly intends to absorb. China will worry about Japan much later, after Taiwan has joined the borg.

as for attacking Japan especially, perhaps the Chinese regime may wish to review Sun Tzu’s advice from 2500 years ago:

“There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed.”

China has told Japan that it will be sending a lot of fishing boats to the Senkaku Islands

```
And 250 Chinese fishing vessels will be raping Ecuador’s Galapagos islands - just for the distraction, and fun
