** 10-Dec-2019 World View: Japan military buildup
The Japanese don't need me or anyone else to tell them that the
Chinese have spent the last 30 years teaching a vitriolic
nationalistic anti-Japan Patriotic Education Campaign ideology
campaign in their schools, and that the Chinese are preparing for war
with Japan.
There's still a strong "pacifist" constituency in Japan that wants to
stay away from nuclear weapons, and only permit military engagements
for defense when Japanese soil is attacked. Shinzo Abe has managed to
whittle away at that by reinterpreting the "self-defense" to mean
"collective self-defense," which means that Japan can take action when
an ally (the US) is attacked.
