These people have hated each other for thousands of years.
America really should have tried to assist in this situation earlier. It is now almost certainly too late.
From the AP:
The commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific says the tensions between China and Japan are likely to grow unless they talk to each other.
The two Asian powers are at loggerheads over remote islands that are administered by Japan but also claimed by China.
Adm. Samuel Locklear told reporters Thursday that “the risk calculation can grow” when two large powers have a disagreement but are not talking to each other.
Locklear said the U.S. has to continue to encourage restraint and professionalism by the two nations’ maritime security forces as they operate around the contested islands, and also hope for a diplomatic dialogue.
Washington’s treaty obligations to its ally Japan mean it could be sucked into a conflict.
[…]“In many cases, those are young naval officers or young civilian mariners who are out there” making decisions, Locklear said.
[…]The Dec. 5 incident involving USS Cowpens and a Chinese naval ship was “unnecessary,” Locklear said, attributing it to “unprofessional” Chinese conduct or a “lack of experience.”
China’s defense ministry has given few details about the confrontation — the most serious incident between the two navies since 2009 — but said its ship handled it according to operating procedures. Chinese media reports blamed the U.S. ship for getting too close to vessels escorting China’s new aircraft carrier Liaoning.
“This just highlights to both of us, to both the PLA and to the U.S. military, that we have to do better at being able to communicate with each other in a way that allows us to not lead to miscalculation,” Locklear said, referring to the People’s Liberation Army, as China’s military is formally known.
The Prime Minister of Japan just said the same thing at the WEF, TIME reports:
Abe warned that something entirely unexpected could become the flash point for conflagration. “There may be some conflict or dispute arising out of the blue, on an ad hoc level … or inadvertently,” he said. He didn’t offer any examples, but in a different context pointed out that 2014 will mark the centenary of World War I. That calamity, the gathered journalists needed no reminding, started with an unexpected event: an assassination in Sarajevo.
It didn’t help that Abe offered no plan to tone down the tensions between the Asian giants. “Unfortunately, we don’t have a clear and explicit road map,” he said. It might help, he suggested without much conviction, if Beijing and Tokyo established a “military-force-level communications channel.”
And what would he expect the U.S. to do if the two countries came to blows? Abe skirted past the question of whether he expected Washington to take Japan’s side, but said he was already seeking closer military ties with the U.S.
