Ships/Scottmi – stories a coupla days old. Check sources other than Japanese or US, though – thos one is pretty good on this matter: http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_international/634189.html
There's a lot of sword rattling going on in the area, and a lot of history that people are still unhappy over. That explains a lot of it. The US should be vary careful, as Asians remember that the US giving permission to Japan to expand in the 1890s was tragic for the rest of the area. I don't have a good feel about whether China simply wishes to send a warning to Japan (and the US) or if they're feeling expansionist themselves.
