Hypocrisy of the American Empire

‘The United States is deeply concerned about China's announcement that they've established an "East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone." This unilateral action constitutes an attempt to change the status quo in the East China Sea. Escalatory action will only increase tensions in the region and create risks of an incident.’
 
This message is being reported in practically every English media as if China is doing something wrong. The setting up of an ADIZ is part and parcel of a country defending its air space. China did not do so earlier, and could not do so as it did not have the capability to do so then. Now that China has all the military resources to establish its ADIZ, what is wrong with that? The Japanese has established its ADIZ that extends to the coast of China and encroached into Chinese air space. They have been harassing Chinese aircraft that flew into the Japanese declared ADIZ. The acts were provocative and been conducted daily, several times a day. Why didn’t the Americans call the Japanese acts destabilizing? Why didn’t the Americans raise alarms when Japan provoked China by its farce sales of Diaoyu Islands and subsequently nationalized it against China’s protest?
 
And what status is the Americans talking about that must be maintained? A position that the Japanese and the Americans imposed on a China when China was weak and unable to protest, with the Japanese more or less delineated the whole area as Japanese air and sea space, including Diaoyu Islands?
 
China is now able to defend its own territorial air space and sea lanes and would stand up to demand its rights to her territorial space, like it or not. A new status quo that reflects a fair position with China claiming back what were China’s is only natural. The old status quo that violated China’s territorial integrity must be set right and the aggressors that took advantage of China’s weakness in the past would have to acknowledge and accept the new realities. China’s territories and territorial air space and sea would have to revert to China and Japan or the Americans would not be in the way.
 
The current messy situation was actually due to the irresponsible actions of the Americans that handled administrative control of the Chinese islands of Diaoyu to Japan in 1972. The problems would have been settled long ago, immediately after the defeat of Japan. But for its selfish interests and its cold war against the USSR and China, the Americans violated the Potsdam Agreement of the victorious allied powers to hand over the islands to the defeated Japanese. It is this act of treachery by the Americans that is causing the tension in the area today.
 
The Americans took the unilateral action against the interest of China to create this situation. China is only standing up to reclaim what it has lost. And the status quo will change to give China a fairer stake in the region with the changing balance of power.
The American hypocrisy must be traced back to its historical past, of a situation that resulted in a never ending feud between China and Japan. And this hypocrisy has led to raising tension if the Diaoyu Islands are not return to its rightful owners and the airspace and ADIZ of China and Japan are not rewritten in a fair and equitable manner.
 
While Japan can go on its reckless acts of scrambling fighters to intercept Chinese aircraft with the quiet connivance of the Americans, China will now have the right to do the same. The American hypocrisy can continue but China will not stand down when its core interests are at stake. China today is ready to reclaim all its territories lost during the era of Unequal Treaties and will go to war with Japan if the latter still thinks it can bully China and grab Chinese territories at will, with the help of the Americans.
 
There will be tension and possible acts of hostility if both sides do not tread carefully in the overlapping ADIZ. China would no longer step down to appease the Japanese or the Americans and allow these aggressive countries to violate its territories. History has come full circle and old scores would have to be settled, peacefully or otherwise. China will change the status quo that is demeaning and to its disadvantage, like it or not. China would not allow itself to be bullied or threatened by the Japanese and the Americans and let them dictate the rules of the game and a status quo in their favour.
 
An unfair status quo will be made fair again when the disadvantaged party is able to stand up to the unfairness. China must use the big stick and insect repellants against rogue and pesky nations. That is the only way to deal with them and bring them to their senses. That was how Japan dealt with China and its neighbours when it was wielding a big stick.Japan only understands the language of a big stick.
