China has been playing the bully boy big kid on the block in South East Asia, demanding the world buckle under to their claim they own the South China Sea, and just about everything else within their "nine dash line". Well, all this economic bully boy stuff has generated a backlash, and that includes Japan, and realizing they needed to alter their concept of national defense.

I read recently that China's military expenditures have now reached the level of the United States, and there's a lot of sack cloth and ashes over that. I also believe that's being used to get more DOD dollars out of the Congress. But I also like the fact they're spending all that money because it's money they don't have, and just like competing militarily with the United States bankrupted the Soviet Union, China's on the way down the economic drain.
