Same demons in North America. I think Chyna is the main perpetrator. Japan being at the center of Chynas ire since about the time of the Nanjing Massacre, got to be the test bed for cultural subversion before it got pushed down on the rest of the first world.
When The Chinese crashed our spy bird under the Shrub, I was privileged to a conversation where the PLA general told our counter part and Admiral that the thing they feared most was that Japan would be released from her treaty obligations for a littoral navy and be allowed to roam the seas at will. Within six monthe Bush did just that.
It I always believed the technology was being transferred to the Chinese.

I hear there is a treaty work around currently in effect. Japans helicopter carriers have allowed the US to operate F35B from them.

That's a big stick, and a clear middle finger to Chyna.
Interesting move.
