Sankei Shimbun (産経新聞) is a major circulation,Japanese-language daily newspaper here in Tokyo.

My Translation to English (Chief Point Summary):

"Obama's Asian Trip: Shame for Accepting Chinese Military Build-up"

オバマ歴訪 中国の軍拡容認は残念だ

"--President Obama finished up an Asian Visit which included him meeting with (General Secretary of the Communist Party and PRC President) Hu Jin Tao to discuss various strategies.

--It is no problem with two giant nations getting together and dicussing issues. But the way such cozying up went, it is very unsettling in terms of order in both the Asian Region and in the World for this to proceed to the level that it has, even to the point of having called this a "G-2" Meeting.

--Our big concern is that right in the middle of the huge military building up embarked upon by the PRC, President Obama neither called on restraint in this regard, nor for a clear accounting of what they are precisely building up.

--It is clear from Obama's actions, as well as his speech here in Tokyo, that he has no intent to contain Communist China.

--They can say all they want, for example that this was the US asking for Chinese cooperation in such problem areas as Afganistan and Pakistan, and in tackling the problems of piracy on the high seas, when everyone knows the way it will be received in China is that it is a tacit green light for them to continue thier military arms and power build-up.

--We say that as a result of this, danger will now increase with respect to Chinese territorial assertions, that escalation may well now be brought on by China in turn affecting Southeast Asia and India.

--It is clear that the US intends to push away from the US-Japan military alliance--which has brought peace and stability to the Asian Region--and pursue this course with China. This is serious. This US-China "G-2" movement must not be allowed by Japan (which needs to strengthen US-Japanese alliance) to gain ascendency."

(End of Summary Translation)

I hope over the rest of Obama's term we hammer the same message over, and over, and over, and over, and over again:

WISHING WE COULD ALL JUST SIT DOWN AND TALK IT OUT IS JUST A LIBERAL FANTASY, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REALITY

Throughout the Bush years, all we heard were variations on "Can't we all just get along, folks?" From the "Jersey Girls" (remember them?) to the Huffington Post and DUmmie gangs, to Biden, Gore, and on and on, we were lectured endlessly about "Cowboy Bush," who was so stupid that he couldn't miraculously make jihadists like us...as if that were ever an option...when the liberals were telling us the answer--JUST TALK!

Just talk. Just get 'em all in a room and hammer it out, and stay there until you all emerge, exhausted and laughing and clapping each other on the back, realizing the Oprah Way--We're All The Same Under The Skin! (Of course, liberals don't believe that at all...but I think they believe they DO believe that.)

They think that Palestinians and Israelis and Muslims and maybe--maybe--the worst of the worst, American Conservatives, would come out of that room being pals, able to get over these piddly little differences. And then we could all get on with the REAL problems we can ALL agree on, if we're honest, like global warming and abortion on demand.

We need to pound the message home for the rest of Obama's time in office--"Liberals, your way doesn't work. Never has, never will."

Obama may feel he has to suck up to the Chinese because they are holding so much of our debt. I always thought that the Bushes were too soft on China, too. Then there was Clinton, who had the Chinese scandal, with the attempts to buy influence, IIRC. I don’t get it why China keeps getting away with stuff.

I am so saddened by Obama’s treatment of Japan. How he can take all our best allies for granted is beyond me.

Thanks for your many posts and translations.

I notice the Japanese have no problem calling the PRC ‘communist China’.

Of course! Everything for Asia, and a neat dictatorship is so profitable.

The banking cartel gave him his talking points. They own him.

Funny how Barry's campaign promises to back Main St. and take on Wall St. fall to the designs of something above Wall Street known as the international banking cartel; or, by their wholly - owned domestic entity, the Federal Reserve Bank.
