BEIJING, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Once again, in its latest defense white paper, Japan has shamelessly accused China of jeopardizing regional peace and stability, playing up the "China Threat" for its own right-wing agenda.
As the Abe administration moves Japan's security policy further and further to the right, rebuilding the country as a military power, those neighboring nations who remember the past look on aghast.
The new defense paper adopts an even more confrontational tone compared to previous ones, accusing China of "changing the status quo by relying on its strength" and expressing "deep concern" over China's activities in the East and South China seas.
If history is indeed a mirror, then surely that mirror reflects Japan's recent record of stirring up regional trouble and enmity wherever and whenever it can. If there is any meddling with the status quo, it is easy to see that Japan is the meddlesome one.

PacificSentinel: Well, this is the single most obvious piece of Chinese Propaganda I've ever seen. The Japan of today is a VERY different place to that of the war years, PM Abe isn't looking to start wars, he just want's to allow Japan to operate as any other country does, with the right and ability to deploy it's Defense Force as needed, primarily in defense of Japan, but also to aid their Friends & Allies, who would aid Japan in return if needed. Welcome to the modern era china, time to leave the past where it belongs.
