Japan Warns It May Fire On Chinese Aircraft Over Disputed Islands

(Before It's News)

A week ago we reported that following what China said was a response to counter “Japanese military aircraft disrupting the routine patrols of Chinese administrative aircraft” over the East China Sea, the world’s most populous country (and one which has the largest, 2.25 million strong, standing army) scrambled several jets and put its military on high alert. Now, it is the turn of Japan, and its brand new militant and nationalistic government, to “retaliate” and escalate tensions by one more notch, in the process crashing any hope that Chinese imports of Japanese goods may resume, and obviating the ongoing temporary plunge in the yen (which while doing nothing to boost exports to this 20% trading partner, has made imports so expensive, inflation in the past two months has already soared well above the 2% target for various key goods as previously reported).

Moments ago, Japan says it may fire warning shots and take other measures to keep foreign aircraft from violating its airspace in the latest verbal blast between Tokyo and Beijing that raises concerns that a dispute over hotly contested islands could spin out of control.

This just keeps escalating doesn’t it.  Many, maybe most people don’t think it will come to a shooting match but i dont think they understand the deep hatred between the two peoples.  During World War Two the Japenese occupied most of china and committed horrible atrocities against the civilian population there.  Bad blood existed and still exists.  We’ll see what happens but my prediction is that this will be one of the hottest fronts in the coming world war. -Mort
