Commentary: If China can punish Japan — economically powerful, diplomatically influential and protected by a U.S. defense treaty — then no other country should imagine itself beyond reach.
If China can bully Japan, it can bully anyone

Unfortunately, they reflect their voters. H. L. Mencken has quotes for most occasions. This one fits our current situation perfectly.
