| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Great symbolic value has been invested in the incident between Japan and the People's Republic of China (PRC, China) that began in waters surrounding the disputed Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands on September 7, 2010.1 Although several distinct narratives on the incident have appeared, the leading one essentially interprets its process and fallout as (further) evidence of an ongoing 'power shift' in East Asia, or explains it as a consequence of such a 'power shift'.2 In this instance, Chinese 'aggressiveness' or 'pressure', and Japanese 'weakness' or 'defeat' are viewed respectively as reflections of 'China's rise' and 'Japan's decline'. |
