China vs Japan : It just keeps escalating

These guys are getting closer and closer to blows lately, I'm getting kinda wigged out by this.

I didn't think too much of the protests, they don't mean anything. But when Japan announced right after the protests, it was now going to begin accepting bids from Japanese oil companies to start testing and drilling the disputed underwater oil fields between Japan and China, I had some concerns.

Few things are fought over, and we all know oil is at the top of the list. With China getting more and more in demand for it, they'll get more and more desperate to establish long lasting sources. Like hell, they'll let Japan take an oil field so close to home.

Then this shit... Japan threating economic implications if China doesn't 'apologize' for recent protest violence and damage on Japanese peoples and property. With both sides claiming to be right, and doing no wrong, I don't think the conflict will go away anytime soon.

Maybe if you don't post anything about it on the internet, they'll forget about it and it will go away.

nothing will happen...but it would be cool if it did...
a defining attribute of a government is that it has a monopoly on the legitimate exercise of violence...
