China has become an economic power, military spending over the past 20 consecutive years of double-digit growth, is currently considering the construction of aircraft carriers, trying to create an ocean-going navy. From all indications, these are only “revenge”, China’s goal is to establish hegemony in the Western Pacific, or a more powerful military power.

recent post-war Japan may occur around the first “little war.” Not long ago, Chinese fishing boats in Okinawa Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu islands that I – Note this newspaper) hit the Japanese patrol the waters, the Japanese government released in China under the Chinese government coercion captain. There is no doubt the same will happen in future events. Estimated that the Chinese navy ships will enter Japanese territorial waters of Japan blatant “aggression.” Armed Self-Defense Forces of Japan’s powerful than the world imagined, might be able to win this “war.”

long delays if the dispute continues, and the situation is extremely detrimental to the self-defense, then the United States is likely to interfere with, sharp Yan islands will eventually be identified as Japanese territory.

this “little war” will awaken the Japanese people. Pursued post-war Japanese will realize how foolish utopian pacifism. When the war is not a national war, the inevitable demise. Self-Defense Force Coast Guard and hopes perk up, charge forward.
