1. … **Whose law**, exactly? and **By what means**?

   >In a joint statement issued after their meeting in Tokyo, Japanese Justice Minister Ken Saito and his ASEAN counterparts reaffirmed their commitment to the “peaceful resolution of disputes” without “resorting to the threat or use of force.”
   Japan and the 10-member ASEAN said in the statement that they will uphold and promote “shared values and fundamental principles such as the rule of law and respect for human rights, as well as national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

   “***Peaceful resolution of disputes***” huh?

   Is that why Japan is **Doubling** it’s military budged? To talk with China??

   ​

   – Either way, Guess we’ll see how that talking goes **once China comes to Taiwan knocking**….
