In Japan...
You might encounter a commando who is so die-hard...since APEC was over already.
Thirty-Six Days Left in 2010
(36 jours à gauche avant 2011)
The New York Times claimed that there is nothing to worry, since South Korean islanders of Yeonpyeong do not mind the recent artillery attack.

YEONPYEONG ISLAND JOURNAL
In Clash Between Koreas, Fishermen Feel First Bite
...
Some islanders even groused that the only invaders they had seen were the hordes of South Korean reporters and television crew members, who descend on them during every standoff with the North.
“When we see the TV crews, we know something is going on,” said Park Choon-geun, 49, a crab-boat captain. “Otherwise, we think life is normal here.”

This manner of reporting would surely provoke South Koreans and Japanese if translated so honestly.
Several months ago in the same sea area, more than 40 South Korean sailors were killed by N. Korea's torpedo attack.
North Korea has recently demonstrated to the Obama Administration feasibility of making uranium-based nuclear bombs.
Now, North Korea killed two islanders plus two S. Korean marines with bombardment on Yeonpyeong Island.
And, like Japan's Senkaku case, The New York Times actually defends the attacker to a free and democratic nation in the Far East.
Today, the South Korean and Japanese media reported that Mr. Kim Jong-il and his promised successor visited the opposite area to the Island and authorized the deadly shelling (with 170 shells) just two days before the attack.
Yet, alarmingly, The New York Times claimed that there is nothing to worry, since South Korean islanders of Yeonpyeong do not mind the recent artillery attack.
SECTION I: Jack London & Japanese
Around the Japan-Russo War (1904-1905) and later, Jack London (1876-1916) could not straightly respect Japanese.
In London's reports as a war correspondent in the front of the War:
---------------
In morale the Japanese soldiers are equal, possibly superior, to European troops. Their tactics are superior to those of the Russians. They outwitted their enemy, who did not contemplate any serious defence. The loss of the guns was due to the slaughter of the horses and to the quick movements of the Japanese and the utter disregard of life which they displayed.
...
In the past I have preached the Economic Yellow Peril; henceforth l shall preach the Militant Yellow Peril.
...
The Japanese resembles a precocious child who talks philosophy one moment, and the next moment is making mud pies. One moment he is acting with the wisdom of the West and the next moment with the childishness of the East.
...
The Japanese does not in the least understand the correspondent or the mental processes of a correspondent, which are a white man's mental processes. The Japanese is of a military race…The Japanese cannot understand straight talk, white man's talk.
...
l think as to the quietness, strictness and orderliness of Japanese soldiers it is very hard to find any equals in the world…I have never seen even a single Jap soldier who got drunk or acting violently, yet its infantry is perfectness itself,…Japanese is the race who can produce real fighting men, and its infantry is simply superb.
...
I doubt if there be more peaceable, orderly soldiers in the world than the Japanese....but the Japanese are not boisterous. They are very serious.
...
The Japanese soldiery and equipment seem to command universal admiration.
...
The Japanese are a race of warriors.
...
The Japanese are surely a military race.

The Japanese might one day collaborate on an 'adventure' which could shatter the long domination of the Western World.

There is no such a description as "Yellow Peril" in any holy books used in the west of the Khyber Pass.
Japan is a unique nation that has never had an ambition to conquer the world, though it tried to govern the whole East Asia in a few years around 1940.
SECTION II: Jack London & China
Around the Japan-Russo War (1904-1905) and later, Jack London (1876-1916) predicted that if China should be helped economically develop by Japanese, the combination of Japan and China would be the real Yellow Peril.
---------------
We are a race of doers and fighters, of globe-encirclers and zone-conquerors …. While we are persistent and resistant, we are made so that we fit ourselves to the most diverse conditions. Will the Indian, the Negro, or the Mongol ever conquer the Teuton? Surely not! The Indian has persistence without variability; if he does not modify he dies, if he does try to modify he dies anyway. The Negro has adaptability, but he is servile and must be led. As for the Chinese, they are permanent. All that the other races are not, the Anglo-Saxon, or Teuton if you please, is. All that the other races have not, the Teuton has.
...
The Korean is the perfect type of inefficiency—of utter worthlessness. The Chinese is the perfect type of industry; The Chinese is no coward; [The Japanese] would not of himself constitute a Brown Peril ... The menace to the Western world lies, not in the little brown man; but in the four hundred millions of yellow men should the little brown man undertake their management.
...
It must be taken into consideration that the above postulate is itself a product of Western race-egotism, urged by our belief in our own righteousness and fostered by a faith in ourselves which may be as erroneous as are most fond race fancies.

So, Jack London predicted around the Japan-Russo War (1904-1905) and later that Japan would challenge the Western powers militarily and economically.
Yet, Jack thought that Japan alone would not succeed in putting an end to dominance of European races.
It should be the scale of the Chinese population whose industrious potential would be put into practical force through contribution by Japanese, so foretold Jack.
In this context American socialist Jack London was a reliable witness of the Far East in the early 20th century.
However, as China did not join the Empire of Japan but tied up with the Soviet Union to adopt Marxism, no Yellow Peril was realized.
Moreover, the U.S. came to make a clear resolution to make war against the Empire of Japan before it conquered China through the Second Japan-Sino War while the U.S. had a great economic and technological predominance over Japan.
In this context, American socialist Jack London (1876-1916) failed to foresee what the U.S. would turn to be after 1940 through the Japan-US War.
Anyway, you had better refer to other analysis on Jack London:

SECTION III: Jack London & London in 1902
Before accompanying Imperial Japan's troops in the Japan-Russo War, American socialist Jack London (1876-1916) went to London, England, to live among the poor and conduct his research on the poor.
In the last chapter of THE PEOPLE OF THE ABYSS, he wrote:
--------------------
In the United Kingdom, on the rim of the Western Ocean, live the English folk. They are a consummately civilised people. Their capital amounts to at least 300 pounds per head. They gain their food, not by hunting and fishing, but by toil at colossal artifices. For the most part, they suffer from lack of shelter. The greater number of them are vilely housed, do not have enough fuel to keep them warm, and are insufficiently clothed. A constant number never have any houses at all, and sleep shelterless under the stars. Many are to be found, winter and summer, shivering on the streets in their rags. They have good times and bad. In good times most of them manage to get enough to eat, in bad times they die of starvation. They are dying now, they were dying yesterday and last year, they will die to-morrow and next year, of starvation; for they, unlike the Innuit, suffer from a chronic condition of starvation. There are 40,000,000 of the English folk, and 939 out of every 1000 of them die in poverty, while a constant army of 8,000,000 struggles on the ragged edge of starvation. Further, each babe that is born, is born in debt to the sum of 22 pounds. This is because of an artifice called the National Debt.

--------------------
The Yellow Peril was not necessary to make poor British suffer.
The Yellow Peril might have even smashed down British elites to liberate the poor.
Anyway, there is no such a description as "Yellow Peril" in any holy books used in the west of the Khyber Pass.
Jack London should have been to Germany to foresee the coming tragedy of European Judaists in the early 20th century.

To American friends of Japan, the conservative and genuinely pro-American LDP will sooner or later come back to power in the Japanese national politics.
But, my concern is, as exemplified in words of Christ Jesus, how much they will be improved spiritually.
In most cases, when you come back to a house, you will sometimes bring seven bad spirits with you.
So, I will advise President Mr. Barack Obama, if he decides to leave the White House, he had better not to come back again.
It is so, since there might be someone in the House so die-hard tough against Mr. Obama's followers in that case.

Luk 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
Luk 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Luk 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
