I tell ya, the suitation at sea is descending into a stalemate, just like the Spratly. Nobody will dare to fire the first shot due to variety of reasons.

The way I see it is if the CCP fire first, they will lose their moral high ground with pretty much everybody ganging up on them. Japan will not fire first because they do not want to court suicide.

But on the flip side, if China dare to do a repeat of Tiananmen and send in troops with heavy armour to quell the rioters instead of the token riot police, I suppose the Japanese are oblige to do something in return. Those mainland citizens are too cowed to do anything aganist their own government, right ?
