Provocations could result in war when populations are itching for a fight? Understatement of the year. Is anyone concerned about a conflict developing in Asia while the world is distracted by the Middle East and the US elections? Could the US be drawn in due to treaty obligations to Japan?
Chinese marine/fisheries surveillance ships enter Japanese waters over island dispute:

People are asking what would Japan do if China simply air dropped marines on the disputed islands at night. Probably nothing and it would set a major precedent for the region.
In related news, photos have appeared on the internet of a new Chinese prototype stealth fighter, roughly a week before Panetta arrived in China for his first visit. In January of 2011, photos appeared of a larger stealth fighter roughly a week before Secretary Robert Gates visited China for the first time.

Japan and South Korea have stealth fighter designs in development, still very much on the drawing board.

Speaking in Tokyo, Leon Panetta said: "I am concerned that when these countries engage in provocations of one kind or another over these various islands, that it raises the possibility that a misjudgement on one side or the other could result in violence, and could result in conflict.
