"Carlisle said he believes Chinese leaders know this situation and they are addressing the matter. “They have made statements that they want to be safe, they know the cost of miscalculation and the tragedy that could happen,” he said."

That's all well and good, but what about a rogue nationalist in the Chinese military who could conceivably "miscalculate".

As the world's #2 technological power -- something that the Americans and Europeans tend to forget now that S. Korea and China are big manufacturers and innovators -- Japan's military power rebirth efforts are likely to force dramatic Pacific and worldwide changes in modern weaponry, including and especially cyberwar, in ways not currently foreseen or planned for and which don't require large armies, navies, and air forces to expand Japan's might. 
It is fair to assume Japanese leader Abe is first of a series of new Japanese political leaders who envision the Rising Sun flag again being a superior military power to be reckoned with -- without any of the huge national concentration camp guilt that prevents Germany from doing the same.

"Carlisle will soon be moving to Virginia to lead the Air Combat Command. He will hand over command of Pacific Air Forces to Lt. Gen. Lori Robinson during a ceremony next week. "

Gen Robinson is capable of handling the job.
