'China potentially setting the stage to use military force' against Japan, analyst says

Japan has scrambled jets to monitor Russian and Chinese air forces conducting joint patrols around the country. China's rising military actions in the area follow Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's comment last month that Tokyo could respond to any Chinese military action against Taiwan that also threatened Japan's security. Bonny Lin, Senior Adviser at CSIS, says that recent developments suggest 'China is potentially setting the stage to use military force if it wanted to'.
