For Japan, the difficult relations with China is creating a security, political, and economic problem. While China is becoming a largest economy, they are building up their military with the focus of Japan. There is no question that U.S. certainly does not want to see conflict escalate between Japan and China. But how much effort the U.S. will be able to put into stopping it and given how tied the U.S. are to Japan? I think there will be significant esclation in the near future.
If you are looking at the entire G20, the single worst bilateral relationship any two countries is China and Japan. The danger here is that it has the impact of deteriorating U.S. China relations as well. China is prepared to pay hardball with Japan, but is China prepared to play the same with U.S.? and if they did, it's going to have a significant economic effects and many companies leaving China.

Declaration of ADIZ was a blunder. China thought Japan was a piece of easy cake, well it is not. So time for friendship.
Ask Chiang Kai-shiek how he lost his mainland China to the communists, he would climb out from his grave and tell you, boohooing: “Not by their machine guns or cannons. I attended to too many ‘Peace Talks’. Waa- - “

China's success on the Moon project probably made China confident and change its attitude. Because everything else Xi did ended up in failure.

I like Kishida's face. He is fit for his age.

Does Japan diplomacy start with good looks? Interesting.

The Japanese nation is not the Philippines. We can defend ourselves in case of attack. So all we can do now is wait.

This meeting is pointless. Neither side has any sincerity. Both sides paint the other as demons both in public and in policy. What good is a meeting of demon to demon? A waste of tax payer's money. Go back to war preparations!
