This book is about Japan-China power politics in the military,
economic and propaganda domains. The post-2012 standoff over the
disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands has unveiled the antagonistic
quality to Sino-Japanese relations, with an important addition: a
massive information war that has cemented the two states’
rivalry. Under the Xi and Abe administrations, China and Japan
insisted on their moral position as benign and peaceful
powers, and portrayed the neighbor as an aggressive revisionist.
By highlighting great power rivalry, this study makes a
theoretical contribution in favor of the power politics behind
Sino-Japanese identities. The work is multidisciplinary in spirit
and aims to speak both to academics and to general readers who
might be curious of understanding this fascinating --if
worrisome-- facet of Sino-Japanese relations. In turn, the
assessment of the diplomatic, economic and identity clash between
the world’s second and third wealthiest states provides a window
in understanding the international politics of the Asia-Pacific
in the early 21
