Sino-Japanese rivalry and its implications for developing nations

Abstract: The PRC9s larger size, rapid economic development, and greater international assertiveness would seem to give China a clear edge over Japan. Yet, Beijing9s frequently heavy-handed diplomacy and steadily rising defense budgets concern many of its neighbors. While most states are publicly deferential to the PRC9s wishes, they have quietly taken steps to accommodate Japan as well.
