Incoming PM Shinzo Abe is toning down his hawkish defence rhetoric & policies:

Incoming Prime Minister Shinzo Abe decided Saturday not to station officials on the Senkaku Islands to avoid further aggravating ties with China, at least for the time being … LDP sources said Friday the party will also postpone a state-sponsored event in February intended to promote Japan’s claim to the Takeshima Islands controlled by South Korea
