This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Bachelor with my colleague and friend Gordon Chang at

Gordon G Chang and we welcome Lance Gatling a principal of Nexial research.

She's in Tokyo to help us with competing headlines.

We have the overflight of exclusive economic zone airspace of Japan some two weeks ago, we have to believe

not accidentally by the People Liberation Army Air Force.

We have an ICBM launch in these last hours that did not cross into Japanese airspace.

And then we have concerns as Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is stepping down from his role as PM and there will be a new

PM soon enough.

A mentioning does Kishida at the most recent events in New York that what is necessary now is American

leadership in the confrontation in the South China Sea and elsewhere with

the People's Liberation Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.

Lands a very good day to you in Tokyo.

Right now the question is, at what scale of alarm is Tokyo with Kishita stepping down with the Chinese clearly being

provocative and in the South China Sea against the Philippines but that overflight of Japanese airspace

suggests that either you're next or you're part of the package. How does Tokyo

react to all these events and is there a concern as recently in a hill piece by Dan Blumenthal

is there concern of a Chinese attack good day to you Lance

good evening John Gordon how are you doing Lance.

Good evening, John.

Gordon, how are you doing?

Certainly, this is an interesting time for the Japanese as they face a leadership

change in the ruling liberal Democratic Party.
