Diplomatically, they have deep government-to-government contacts, regular face-to-face meetings and have avoided the shock-therapy of Australia. It has bought them more time.
The waters that surround Japan’s islands, Sahashi said, are more important than their military strategic value. “The sea area, including its exclusive economic zone, is the sixth-largest in the world and holds potentially vast underwater resources. Japan has the potential to become a resource-rich country.
“What Japan does not want is for those countries to be beholden to China in any way,” said Richardson.“Japan’s engagement in south-east Asia as a way to offset China’s influence and to enhance the capacities of those countries to defend their interests in the South China Sea.”. His goals are said to be much the same.

Whoever wrote this must be the class idiot... but sicko white AUSTRALIA is at the same pathetic level re history + diplomacy. We might not have learned from history but the CHINESE have, also KOREANS who were occupied by JAPAN since 1910... thus we are a country without a future
Peter Hartcher of smh. Your discussion on Q&A in regards to China was the most clear headed accurate and balanced take on the issue that has been presented in the media to-date. Congratulations. You sir are a legend for your concise non partisan clear minded presentation.
Can we not act like less than 100 years ago ww2 happened. And that Japan is still a powerful country. Neither them nor China are our enemy so stop acting like it. Otherwise at least call this an opinion piece not an analysis!

China criticism proves Australia and Japan are a 'united front' | Sky News AustraliaWest Australian Political Journalist Sarah Ison says Australia and Japan’s joint statement in opposition to China’s coercive behaviour presents a “united front” ahead of the G7 summit. \n\nThe joint statement - which comes after two hours of virtual meetings between Australia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne, Defence Minister Peter Dutton and their Japanese counterparts - labelled China’s economic behaviour as undermining “the rules-based international system”.\n\nMs Ison says the declaration was “a really pointed statement” against Beijing.\n\n“It was very much the two countries coming together and presenting something of a united front in this statement and it no doubt has already gained criticism from China,” she told Sky News.\n\n“We’ve had a lot of comments and the confirmation that the geo-strategic competition that we’re facing right now will be discussed and that’s code for China’s rise and the competition particularly with the United States.\n\n“Last year Australia had a really tough year with China … and the world was really watching on with apprehension and a lot of worry about what is being deemed as economic coercion, so I think those discussions about where to from here will be had and will be had on the side-lines of the G7.”\n 😂😂😂Your leaders are chosen by American.

Herd of elephants wandering through China is 'unprecedented' | Sky News AustraliaA herd of elephants which has been travelling through China for 15 months has stopped for a rest on the edge of the city of Kunming.\n\nAsian Elephant Cognition and Behaviour Expert Joshua Plotnik says he does not know what led the elephants to travel 500 miles from their original home in the Yunnan province, saying the situation is “quite unprecedented”.\n\n“These elephants haven’t simply just left to go food shopping, as it were, they’ve travelled several hundred kilometres looking for something,” Mr Plotnik told Sky News.\n\n“It could be because of loss of resources they were looking for and no longer have access to in their home area.”\n\nHe said government officials, scientists and locals are working together to develop a plan to assist the elephants.\n\n“The longer-term solution is to find a way to either turn those elephants back to their home, or to gear them towards another protected habitat where they can live safely.”\n\n What if all they've been trying to do this entire time was to get away from the person with the camera?
