Title: Obama’s Asia rebalance turns into headache as China, Japan relations spiral down
My commentary: Unilateral Japanese ADIZ is ok and even unilateral enlargement is fine. Chinese ADIZ (with 2 year advance notice to Japan) is suddenly worse than Japanese PM worshipping Yakuzuni. How biased does Washingtonpost get?
However, actually this piece did hit the danger and hypocrisy of "Rebalance to Asia" aka "Pivot to Asia" head on. No matter how the administration and the media try to whitewash it, "Rebalance to Asia" = Containing China's peaceful rise, and is inherently adversarial and antagonistic. It must be renounced and abandoned for real peace.
