Ka Boom? I don't know how Beijing can expect for the U.S. (treaty obligated to defend Japan) to stay neutral out of this spat. Anti-Japanese protests are continuing across China as the countries' competing claims to a group of islands threatened to escalate. There were reports that a large flotilla of Chinese fishing boats was due to arrive in the area later on Tuesday. As the region braced for the possible arrival of up to 1,000 fishing boats in waters near the disputed Senkaku islands – known as the Diaoyu in China – Beijing reacted angrily to reports that two Japanese activists had briefly landed on one of the three islands that the Japanese government bought from their private Japanese owners last week. China's national defence minister, Liang Guanglie, said Beijing reserved the right to take further action against Japan over the dispute. It was hoped the countries could reach a negotiated solution, but the Japanese government should "undo its mistakes and come back to the right track of negotiations", he said.

if anything expect china/india war. two huge populated countries who might try to expand. I highly doubt they will expand in each other's immediate neighborhoods, but a rivalry will become increasingly likely as both nations continue to rise economically in the future. Pakistan occupies much of India's immediate foreign concerns, as does Taiwan/North Korea for China. India/Pakistan would be the powder keg ready to blow like Mt. St. Helen. Agreed. Pakistan is very unstable IMO, hopefully the shit doesn't hit the fan once American troops are out of Afghanistan in 2014.
