This is what happens when we have a leadership void. This could get really bad and we don't have anyone in Washington right now with the diplomatic skills to try to help resolve this. Obama and Hillary can't even deal with a 13 minute movie so I doubt their ability to make any difference here.

Chinas most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.
Protests against the Japanese governments purchase of three privately held islands in the Senkakus chain led to mass street protests, the burning of Japanese flags, and attacks on Japanese businesses and cars in several cities. Some carried signs that read Kill all Japanese, and Fight to the Death over disputed islands. One sign urged China to threaten a nuclear strike against Japan.
