Oh what a lovely gesture, you take a cheap shot at Air Force Brat and then you tell Jeff Head you'll "stay on topic," and move along.

It doesn't have to be that way though. Japan and South Korea can easily sit down with China and establish an independent from and free of any outsider's influence, charter. Where all three nations can agree to the scaling back of ADIZ's and creating a new regulation, whereby all aircraft which pass through the international airspace between the ADIZ's of all three nations, to report to all three or to the nation which they're the closest in proximity to, within the International Air-Space.
All things can be resolved, if only there is a willingness to do so for the sake of peace, humanity and respect for each other's sovereignty.
Shinzo Abe is a nationalistic patriot, and has a brutally realistic view of International Relations with China, the US, and other Asian countries, so it's not about faking external problems to shore up domestic support.Japan faces many internal problems such as... What better way to deflect attention of the internal problem to some "external" problem and play up the China threat etc.
Maybe it's because Japan has and continues to whitewash its imperial past and the countless atrocities it committed, so it's not hard for the Japanese to feel that at some point, China might want to impose justice by unfriendly means...?
Honestly, the idea of china invading Japan (I.e.: not disputed island related) horrifies the majority of chinese as much as it does everyone else. Apparently Abe has a phobia that china will invade Japan... Which I find deliciously ironic given his view upon Japan's own invasion of a century past.
I doubt even the strongest Japanese nationalist would believe china wants to invade Japan to get back for Japan's whitewashing. It is a combination of the fact that china is "communist" with the fact that china and Japan has unresolved historical/territorial disputes, along with tornadoes worth of media spin, that creates this strange sense of anxiety.

I share the same thought as well, it is unfortunate and painful to watch Japan slow turns into a facist state with its secret laws, nationalistic war mongering and posture.
