japanese prime minister shinzo abe has called for military restraint in asia
amid festering tensions between japan and china over historical and
territorial issues. delivering a keynote speech at the world economic
forum in davos
wednesday abe said - in a thinly veiled message to china - that military
expansion must be kept in check and military spending must be transparent
and able to be verified. he also said the international control of
the sea must be respected in a
clear reference to the east china sea islands dispute between tokyo and
beijing. looking to calm concerns japan might resort
to military action abe said
japan has vowed never to wage a war again and it plans to stick to that
vow.
