Warmongering governments are ratcheting up national tensions in a struggle for regional dominance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dikang, chinaworker.info<\/p>\n

53 percent of Chinese respondents and 29 percent of Japanese believe their countries will fight a war in the years ahead. This was the finding in a new poll by Genron\/China Daily published on the second anniversary of the current Diaoyu-Senkaku Islands conflict between the world\u2019s second-largest (China) and third-largest (Japan) economies. The move by the previous Japanese government led by Yoshihiko Noda, on 11 September 2012, to \u2018nationalise\u2019 part of the contested island chain in the East China Sea, triggered a bitter diplomatic standoff, which has seen a rise in militaristic rhetoric and\u00a0cat-and-mouse military manoeuvres by the two countries\u2019 air and sea forces in\u00a0the disputed waters. Japan scrambled its fighter jets against Chinese planes on 415 occasions in the past year, compared with 306 times the year before.<\/p>\n

According to the new poll, 38 percent of Japanese think war will be avoided, down from 47 percent in 2013. It found that 93 percent of Japanese have an \u2018unfavourable view\u2019 of the Chinese people, with 87 percent of Chinese viewing Japanese unfavourably.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmplified\u201d by the rulers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeff Kingston, a US-based Japan expert, told the Financial Times that the Japanese media were inflaming negative sentiment towards China and that the nationalist government of Shinzo Abe\u2019s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) was \u201camplifying the anxiety\u201d by talking about the threat from China. Abe created a stir earlier this year, grabbing global headlines, when he compared today\u2019s relationship between Japan and China to Britain and Germany on the eve of the First World War a century ago.<\/p>\n

Nationalism, focusing on\u00a0territorial conflicts (over uninhabited islands and even rocks), has\u00a0been deliberately whipped up by both governments to shore up their bases of support as neo-liberal economic reforms are pursued at the behest of the capitalists at home and abroad. China\u2019s president Xi Jinping is embroiled in a complex and infected power struggle within the one-party (CCP) state, partly under the cover of an anti-corruption drive. He wants\u00a0to centralise more power in Beijing and also to break the economy from its current extremely dangerous debt dependency, by accelerating\u00a0neo-liberal reform measures.<\/p>\n

To this end, Xi wants to project his own \u2018strong man\u2019 image and to assert China\u2019s newfound military muscle across\u00a0the region. Nationalism, and specifically the dream of China as number one, is used as an opiate to mollify\u00a0mass anger over\u00a0the effects of government policy and a deepening economic malaise. China\u2019s ability to stand up to the US and its regional allies, the foremost of which is Japan, is also intended as\u00a0a show of strength\u00a0to intimidate\u00a0China\u2019s restive regions such as Xinjiang,\u00a0Tibet, Hong Kong and also Taiwan, which Beijing eventually wants to reincorporate under its control.<\/p>\n

At the time of Japan\u2019s \u2018nationalisation\u2019 of the islands \u2013 something socialists resolutely opposed, and this opposition extends\u00a0to all\u00a0the antagonistic governments\u00a0including China \u2013 massive protests took place across China targeting Japanese companies, cars, and even restaurants. These protests were partly encouraged by the CCP as a way to \u201crelease some pressure\u201d from the base of society, with the government able to steer\u00a0the anger away from itself.<\/p>\n

In May this year a similar phenomenon gripped\u00a0Vietnam, with tens of thousands engaging in anti-China protests and riots\u00a0\u2013\u00a0initially regime-sanctioned\u00a0\u2013\u00a0after China deployed an oil-drilling rig in a part of the South China Sea that is claimed by both governments. These protests blew back upon\u00a0the Vietnamese regime with 460 factories attacked \u2013 Korean and Singaporean as well as Chinese and Taiwanese \u2013 causing millions of dollars in damage and at least four deaths. Taiwan is the biggest investor in Vietnam\u2019s sweatshop industrial zones and its factories\u00a0\u2013\u00a0rather than Chinese-owned plants\u00a0\u2013\u00a0bore the brunt of popular anger.<\/p>\n

Abe\u2019s right-wing agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abe, who like Xi is a \u2018princeling\u2019 descendant of a political dynasty, has also engaged in nationalistic posturing, using the \u2018China threat\u2019 to advance an agenda of increased Japanese militarisation and a pushback against Chinese economic influence in\u00a0Asia. In December, Abe ignored pressure from the US and paid a controversial visit to\u00a0Tokyo\u2019s Yasukuni shrine, which is strongly associated with Japan\u2019s wartime\u00a0atrocities. Since coming to power in late 2012, in large part due to\u00a0exploiting the Diaoyu-Senkaku issue, Abe has surrounded himself with ultra-nationalists and \u2018revisionists\u2019 who deny Japan\u2019s war crimes such as the mass coercion of women in occupied countries into sex slavery (so-called \u2018comfort women\u2019). A newly appointed minister in Abe\u2019s cabinet and another prominent LDP member were just this week exposed for posing in photographs with the leader of an openly neo-Nazi party.<\/p>\n

Abe\u2019s government recently approved a \u2018reinterpretation\u2019 of Japan\u2019s peace constitution that for the first time since 1945 allows it to send troops to fight overseas. This policy has aroused powerful opposition inside Japan. Tens of thousands demonstrated in Tokyo against the move with slogans against \u2018fascism\u2019. One\u00a0protester set himself alight outside Tokyo\u2019s busiest train station. The government\u2019s ramped-up nationalism is not just linked to its\u00a0military agenda, but serves as a\u00a0cover for attacks on the working class, the public sector, and for the introduction of more authoritarian controls on political activities and civil liberties.<\/p>\n

Abe has followed a hyperactive timetable of regional diplomacy, visiting almost all East Asian countries (but conspicuously not China) to cut new financial and trade deals, and in some cases to strengthen military ties. Abe recently hosted talks with India\u2019s right-wing leader Narendra Modi, announcing a \u201cspecial, strategic global partnership\u201d between the two Asian giants. This is clearly pitted\u00a0against China, which Modi said has\u00a0an \u201cexpansionist mindset\u201d. The Japanese government pledged to invest US$34 billion in India during\u00a0these talks.<\/p>\n

This week Abe visits Bangladesh and then travels to Sri Lanka, as the first Japanese PM to call on the island nation in nearly a quarter of a century. Xi Jinping will arrive in Colombo within days of Abe\u2019s visit, underlining the frenzied pace of diplomatic jockeying in the region. Sri Lanka is already caught in a tug-of-war between the Indian and Chinese regimes, who are vying for influence, and Abe\u2019s visit signals that Japanese imperialism also wants a piece of this action. With the governments of the Philippines and Vietnam also clashing with China over sovereignty claims\u00a0in\u00a0disputed waters in the South China Sea, Abe has offered these governments Japanese support and naval equipment, as has the US, most blatantly in the case of the Philippines.<\/p>\n

US \u2018pivot\u2019 spells disaster<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regional tensions\u00a0have been exacerbated\u00a0by the policy of US imperialism. Battered by a series of calamitous military adventures in the Muslim world, the US is\u00a0now seeking to recoup its formerly dominant position in the Asia-Pacific region, where it is increasingly being elbowed aside by China\u2019s growing economic power. This is the origin of Barack Obama\u2019s \u2018Asian pivot\u2019 launched in 2011. The \u2018pivot\u2019 (or \u2018rebalancing\u2019 as Washington now prefers to call it) is a political, economic and military strategy to refocus American power upon Asia, which has become the main arena of activity for world capitalism. On the military plane, it involves new bases and revamped defence\u00a0pacts with old and new allies, including for example the return of at least a token US military contingent to the Philippines, a quarter century after US forces\u00a0were made\u00a0to close their bases there.<\/p>\n

But with\u00a0the US constrained by an unprecedented economic crisis and forced to scale down military spending, a key element of its\u00a0\u2018pivot\u2019 strategy is to push its Asia-Pacific allies \u2013 notably Australia, South Korea, India and especially Japan \u2013 to pick up\u00a0a bigger\u00a0share of the military bill. This is fuelling an arms race and, most clearly in the case of US support for Japan\u2019s\u00a0military build-up,\u00a0threatens to destabilise the continent.<\/p>\n

Economically, as an accompaniment to the the \u2018pivot\u2019, the US is attempting to knit together a neo-liberal trade and investment treaty, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP), which may or may not take off due to the potentially big opposition that could come from the people of the negotiating countries. The TPP is driven by the profit-hunger of multinational companies but also seeks\u00a0to cement\u00a0a US-led anti-China political alliance of \u2018Asian Democracies\u2019 (which ironically includes Brunei, Singapore and Vietnam). Some of the difficulties that could stop the TPP in its tracks are shown by the problems Abe\u2019s government is\u00a0having in meeting US-TPP demands in sectors such as\u00a0farming and autos.<\/p>\n

The Chinese regime has become more assertive in regional conflicts as its overseas investments soar, acquiring significant stakes in mining, banking, utilities, transportation, and other sectors throughout Southeast Asia especially. Beijing has embraced the theory of Western and US \u2018declinism\u2019 and is increasingly prepared to parry and block US moves in the region, while still being careful\u00a0to avoid a head-on clash, given both the crushing military preponderance of the US (spending four times as much on its military than China, the second biggest spender worldwide) and the disastrous economic repercussions of a US-China military conflict.<\/p>\n

Socialists oppose the US \u2018pivot\u2019, which is stoking potentially disastrous conflicts throughout Asia. This follows on the heels of\u00a0a decade of US power games and military interventions in the Middle East (Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria and elsewhere) that have wrought\u00a0long-term havoc. At the same time, we oppose the nationalistic rhetoric and military plans of Asian governments including Beijing. Although less global in character at this stage, the Chinese dictatorship is also pursuing its own great power ambitions, and in the process is inflaming national tensions and providing a convenient \u2018scarecrow\u2019 for right-wing nationalist politicians such as Japan\u2019s Abe to drive forward their reactionary political agendas.<\/p>\n

Against nationalism and capitalism<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rise of right-wing nationalist governments across Asia, and their drive to increase military spending, are a serious threat to peace and the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people. Asia now spends more on arms than Europe for the first time in modern history. At the same time, Asia holds 60 percent of the world\u2019s urban slums. In South Asia alone there are 27 million children who do not go to school. Instead of increasing spending on schools and hospitals, capitalist governments are pouring billions into submarines,\u00a0missile systems\u00a0and patrol boats, while unleashing a tsunami of privatisations and outsourcing upon workers and the poor.<\/p>\n

This is the logic of capitalism, which is a diseased and crisis-ridden system, only capable of enriching a tiny billionaire elite at the expense of the mass of the population. Even in Japan, the richest country in Asia, and formerly one of the least unequal, 16.3% of children live in \u201ceconomic hardship\u201d according to government data. Under neo-liberal restructuring, of which Abe is planning more, the number of part-time, temporary and other non-regular workers in Japan has soared over the past 15 years to 19.7 million, which is 38 percent of the labour force.<\/p>\n

Socialists urge the workers\u2019 movement to resist the poison of nationalism and focus on the fight against the class enemy \u2013 the capitalists and their governments. Everywhere nationalism is gaining ground there is a visible absence\u00a0of independent working class politics. The situation from China to Japan to\u00a0the US cries out for mass workers\u2019 parties, socialist policies and fighting trade unions.<\/p>\n

Workers have nothing to gain from the military\u00a0schemes\u00a0of Abe, Xi and Obama, and their respective general staffs, while there is an urgent need to organise and struggle\u00a0against the anti-working class policies of these governments. As Karl Marx said the working class has no country; our struggle is international!<\/p>\n
