I'll listen later. I watched as Japan began rebuilding a defense force and admired their planes. They had militarized part of their police and had to make a change to the Constitution IIRC. They have disputes with China over some small islands, but seem to have claimed them.

The Philippines finally relented and we now have more bases but I do have questions on the radar facilities. The Chinese were out mapping the ocean floor to the east of the Philippines and now know more places to hide their subs well.

India has been raising the alarm about China for some time. The Chinese have built up port, some in the Malacca straits, to Sri Lanka - String of Pearls strategy. The ports aren't hardened yet, but could be. The Chinese have been aggressive in the South Chinese Sea which almost became a Chinese Lake.
