Ok I hae been reading from the link provided and so far it looks like the Chinese have a serious hard on for the Japanese, totally understandable. However (granted its dated) they predict that Japan will seek to drive a wedge between the US and China but it has been the PRC itself driving the wedge. Ramming elint planes and then ignoring international law as it sought a safe landing area, denying US ships refuge when they were fleeing a storm, missile threats vs an entity the US is treaty bound to defend, popping a sub up in the middle of a carrier group, threatening to nuke cites and sink carriers etc. The only thing the China has done is make sure the region remains a top priority to the USN and re-enforced the relationship between the US and Japan. This works counter to China's perceived long term goals at least so far as I can see it.
