Does the one percentage-point rise in
support for the Abe cabinet from 54.2% to 55.2% in the post-Yasukuni visit December
28-29 Kyodo poll vindicate my
prediction? I’d like to, but it appears to be comfortably within the margin of
error. Let’s call it a draw.
BTW James Manicom has an important point or
two to make about the Mainichi revelation of the Chinese prior “notification”
of its ADIZ. I accept his take, which I think has been vindicated by the
subsequent lack of follow-up by the players and the media, in principle, so I’m
retracting my own take on the matter. Go look him up in the Japan discussion forum
moderated by John Campbell.
