, 2010.

Quote:

"Some western observers in Tokyo muse taht perhaps Japan is once again
following its historic policy of adapting to shifts with great powers.
Before the first world war the country had a special relationship with
Britain. In the inter-war period Japan allied itself with Germany. Since
1945, it has stuck closely to America. Perhaps the ground is being prepared
for a new 'special relationship' with China.

"So what is Mr. Hatoyama up to? The uneasy suspicion in Tokyo is that even
the prime minister himself may not really know.

My comment: I do not provide the link, because the rest of the analysis is
trite.
