Amazingly this backgrounder posted only this morning makes no mention of the current stand off. It describes recent U.S. actions including an invitation to the PLAN to participate in joint exercises. The government can't be ignorant of what is going on right now off of the islands. Is it choosing to ignore these developments? Are we sending a signal that we won't honor our 1951 defense treaty with Japan?
