What is happening is that the great rally for claiming the resources in the region's seabeds has been declared open.

Japan is turning older and older, and more and more conservative. It will become more and more determined not to allow being militarily intimidated by China, like other, smaller countries will need to accept.

Also, China versus US would be the duel creditor versus debtor. Both goods and evils come for both from that constellation, and it gives both sides reasons wanting to avoid war - and wanting war. One thing is for sure, I think: any military escalation will see an even greater escalation in any kind of financial and currency war as well. The currency war indeed already is there, thow still cooking ion small flame. But that can change just any day now, or month, or year. Completely unpredictable. Expect everything any day, and this for years to come - that is my advise.
