i wonder if there is any significance they chose september 18th to re-militarize overseas action, being thats the date japan invaded china in 1931.

all else aside on the territorial disputes, i feel abe and his associates continually look past their genocides and atrocities in WWII, continually going to war memorials and celebrations of these same japanese that attacked US and committed the acts during WWII.

so china leaders definitely have a reason to hold a grudge and not forget.
