Tomgram: Chalmers Johnson, Coming to Terms with China

http://tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=2259

Seldom do you find a piece that tries to put East Asia together, laying out for us, in particular, the explosive nature of the U.S./Japan/China triangular relationship, which in various combinations has in the past plunged us into bloody war .

...Chalmers Johnson does just that and in monumental fashion. It's rare for us to take time out of busy lives to consider how exactly the dots might be connected, how the world actually works. I urge all of you to consider doing so in the case of Johnson's long essay. It will repay your time many times over.--Tom Englhart
