China Flexing

To it's credit, I got about to the 4th paragraph before that funny feeling rose to conscious level, and I realized I was reading a propaganda piece.

But Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi turns a deaf ear to the serious warning and kind persuasions of the Chinese side.

Rhetoric, but also beautifully phrased for a diplomatic statement, which it is not.

However, I'm confused as to the "Flexing" part -- no subtle hint of militarism I could pick up other than China and Japan are "separated by a strip of water", and that's stretching it.
