Japan shoudn't have to choose between America and China
Japan is sandwiched, willingly or unwillingly.
On the one side, you have America, the alley and a nuclear umbrella holder, the biggest economy in the world and consumer of Japanese autos and electronics, on the side is China, the growing power with purchasing power and competitors for resources.
Does Japan have to choose one side over the another, the Answer is NO. Even Japan is more closely allied with Washington over Beijing, it doesn't mean that Tokyo has to listen every world Mr. Bush has to say. On the same note, Japan doesn't have to feel less secure walking too close to Beijing, worrying about the triangle balance will be broken.
A confident Japan is the Key to breakthrough the sandwiched situation. No one knows more than self, Japan certainly can have the influence and flexibility needed to move forward, however, Tokyo does need to have a determination and vision to do so.
Have a Great Weekend!

Look ahead year 2008
with today's big selloff and Japan's Tokyo Stock Exchange Index lost over 600 points, people are wondering if Japan's economy is going to be dragged down by the U.S. and subprime crisis, or it will be liftoff from still going strong Chinese economic engine?

Lookback Year of 2007
Happy New Year to you all!
I am starting today to write on significant developments and news on China-Japan-US triangle relations in the past year. As you may recall, it was a year filled with the good, the beautiful as well as the bad, even not quite as ugly.
On the top of the list is Exchange of visits from Japanese and Chinese leaders. Mr. Fukuda visited Beijing on Dec 27th, in a return to Chinese Prime Minister Wen's visit to Tokyo in April.
Economy side, for the fist time in history, exchange rate of Chinese currency RMB climbs to 7.2 to 1 dollar, highest level ever.
However, dispute over East China Sea gas reserve is a huge cloud hanging over the two energy consuming giants. In September, Chinese war planes were reported to have fly over oil fields in the disputed area over 40 times, and trigged Japanese Self Defense planes to get ready. Both Japan and China have discussed the issue at highest levels, however, they are yet to reach an agreement.
Japanese media are turning more attention to China over next year's Beijing Olympics, the weakness of China's environment, ever growing gap between the have and havenot will be highlighted along with the glorify of the medals and torches.
