“A former adviser to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) says a rising cadre of officers has slipped the leash and picked up attitudes all too like the Japan’s firebrand officers in the 1930s, when they defied orders from Tokyo. He said these young bloods are on a ‘collision course’ with the US-dominated global system. As `black swans’ go, an outright war between the two great powers of Asia would surely be dramatic, and it could not easily be contained since America is bound by treaties to defend Japan if it is attacked. This includes an attack on the Senkaku islands. One shudders to think what would happen if China and the US itself came to blows in any form.”
