They should be thanking the USA.
if “push comes to shove” over these piss ant little islands

He will let Japan twist in the wind. That mutual defense
treaty isn’t worth the paper its written on.
Those islands are soon to be Chinese fishing camps.
But there’s oil. Actually I think the Chinese are just really upset about Japan invading them 81 years ago, as they are making a big deal about the invasion anniversary. But Japan has already apologized profusely for that. Can’t China let bygones be bygones?
oh gee, the Chinese govt has lost control over internal security in their own country so maybe they need a stern letter from Hillary

Seriously, if these “protesters” displeased the Chinese govt, their kidneys would already be functioning in the bodies of some rich communist party-connected recipient
