Anti-China Bias in News 3

Headline: Getting Senkaku History Right"
URL: http://thediplomat.com/2013/11/getting-senkaku-history-right/1/

The headline looks fair right?  What's wrong with trying to get the history 
right?

Nothing.  This article very strongly defend Japan's claim and attributed 
various motivations to China.   The author's name/bio is at the very end, at
the front of the article there's the name in light grey hard-to-see letters
.   When you are done reading it, you realize you 
are reading a Japanese official and visiting professor's mind.  

Biased or not?  Insideous or not?  Your call.  Japan is wearing layers and 
layers of pretty kimonos, but he's trying again to borrow a knife to stick 
his neighbor with.
