No Regular Triangle But Two Different Levels for G1 and G2
The U.S. Department of State and CIA have different views on Mr. Ichiro Ozawa.
As Mr. Ozawa looks to be de-facto top leader of the Japanese ruling party DPJ, the U.S. Department of State is going to invite Mr. Ozawa to Washington D.C. to solve the U.S. Marine-base relocation problem in Okinawa, Japan. Mr. Ozawa looks proud of being invited by the U.S. Department of State to lead delegations to Washington D.C. for meeting with President Mr. Barack Obama.
(Note: There is another report today that Mr. Ichiro Ozwa does not request the meeting with President Mr. Obama as a condition for him to accept the invitation. Some Japanese pundit has criticised that Mr. Ozawa should not act like a boss of Prime Minister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama, especially, on diplomatic issues. )
The U.S. Department of State also seems to pay attention to Mr. Ozawa's strong relationship with leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, which America might make the best use of in their building friendly relationship with China.
However, CIA might have a different view, since China has no intention to prosper with America sharing the same value system based on American Christianity and Judaism.

US-China rivalry intensifies
9 January 2010
...
The US remains the world’s no. 1 economy but is confronted by a dynamic rival. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, US GDP was eight times that of China; a decade later the figure was down to four times. This year China is likely to overtake Japan to become the world’s second largest economy. In 2009 China overtook the US as the world’s largest auto market and Japan as the largest auto producer. Two decades ago, a car industry barely existed in China.
...
More broadly, the US has sought to encircle China with a series of alliances and bases, stretching from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and India to Afghanistan and Central Asia. China is responding by building its own military capabilities, including a blue-water navy to secure shipping routes to the Middle East and Africa, and a de facto partnership with Russia to counter US influence in Central Asia.
...
China is an economic giant with feet of clay, riven by economic and social contradictions. Its economy is dependent on Western investment, technology and markets. China’s great economic "strength"—its vast pool of cheap labour—inevitably produces deep-seated social tensions.
...
The abiding fear of the tiny Chinese elite is that its police-state measures will not contain the immense social explosion that is building up.

On the contrary, Japan has had real and proven intention to prosper with America sharing the same value system based on American Christianity (and Judaism) and universal democracy.
The era of G2 of Japan and America has been really great and good to the world. Asians respect this relationship. Russians fear the relationship. Chinese envy the relationship. It has contributed much even to educating American people with what their European tradition cannot offer. It has been partly linked with idealistic, liberal philosophy on the Japanese side and a quest of idealistic, Pax Americana for Americans while pursuing American Dream domestically.
But, now America has decided to enter the new G2 era with China.
Yet, American workers do not know the truth behind it. It is not to save American workers. It is to save American investors who have come to doubt the future of Wall Street in the wake of the 2008 Lehman Shock. American rich men and investors have come to see China as something that could take over from Wall Street without taking American workers into their account. But, all American workers will see is an unchanged high rate of unemployment and an increase of strange neighbors coming from China (possibly and eventually as many as those Hispanics having come from the south of the border).
Toyota has become foolish, but it can employ so many American workers in the U.S. Any Chinese companies will not be able to. Sony and other Japanese electronic businesses have triggered a creative impulse in American industries. Any Chinese companies will not be able to. It is so since Chinese traditions despise manufacturing but prefer trade. Chinese elites just want to have poor Chinese work in factories and to get profits as their own.
So, the purpose of American rich people and Chinese elites advocating the China/USA G2 is very mean, betraying workers in both the countries. With progress of this China/USA G2, American investors might preserve their wealth, and Chinese elites get more money; but the American unemployment rate will be kept high and Chinese workers will not obtain democracy and freedom of religion.
Yet, this selfish China/USA G2 will cause many problems in the phase of international security and politics CIA would be in charge of.
For example, for China the prolonged American War with Islamic warriors is very welcome, since China will eventually gain easier access to other developing nations with rich natural resources. China can also tighten military cooperation with Russia to secure their cold control over poor Chinese people. China will further aid the military regimes in North Korea and Myanmar.
The China/USA G2 in low purpose will result in satisfactory returns to American investors, but the American Government will lose respect from American workers and Asian people. In fact, American wealthy people cannot think of any other market but China (if India and Brazil taken into account) that can take over Wall Street where their money can be operated with some level of expectations of returns. In the meantime, Pax Americana will be impossible for ever even with a resentment of Israel eventually.
This is the truth of China/USA G2.
However, from a historical point of view, it might be a necessary step for poor Chinese people to start to learn Christianity and Judaism..
And, personally, I do not think the peaceful G2 of China and USA is so bad for Japan and other Asian countries so long as Taiwan can keep independence, since sooner or later democratic or religious revolution will occur in China through this new G2 building process while American arrogance will be suppressed with more and more lucky Chinese coming to live in America.
The challenge for Japan is to sustain and further carry through the higher ambition and aspiration once so much expected to be attained through the Japan/USA G2 at a decent spiritual level from which the U.S. is now leaving for a money-driven adventure with China.
Japan should be more spiritual to lead the world as great G1 in stark contrast with them.
