Go Japan indeed.

The Chinese want to push Japan aside , and have so far helped Liberal socialists like Shinzo Abe get elected to prevent the military expansion of the Japanese Defence Forces to a more effective international role. But the Chinese will seek to destroy Japans satellites with its agressor satellite, and will not allow the Jpanese to get ahead.This is why Japan needs a military capability beyong self defence. China means to bring Japan into its hegemony, one way or another, and so far they have been successful, that is what the election of Shinzo Abe represents.

Are you kidding me? Do you know what the alternative to Shinzo Abe is? The left-wing Japanese Democratic Party, which is FAR MORE liberal than Abe.

Koizumi was a fluke in Japanese politics, there are strong business interests in Japan that prefer Japan to cuddle with China. This is similar to the United States, you can elect a Democrat or Republican president, but either one will still be pro-China.
