Section heading and the last two paragraphs:
"*美韩、美日军演连环套*
"与此同时，4万多名美国和日本军人正在准备参加12月3日开始的大规模军事演习。代
号为'利剑'的这次军演已经准备一年多，但有关报导日前援引日本防卫省官员的话说，
在北韩炮击韩国领土后，他们欢迎这次对军事合作的展示。
"韩国宣布，12月6日开始在同一地区再举行一次炮兵演习。
My comment:
(a) There is no need to read the rest, for there is nothing new elsewhere.
(b) 利剑 Keen Sword
Tara A. Williamson, Keen Sword exercise sharpens US-Japan alliance. US Air
Force, Dec. 2, 2010.

("Keen Sword is not designed to respond to, or mirror, any actual world
events, nor is it directed at any nation. This training between Japan and
the U.S. has been a routine, recurring event for many years, Major Vause
said")
(Elsewhere Major William Vause bills the drill, lasting from Dec. 3 to 10,
as the largest ever between US and Japan.)
(c) I beg to differ. The timing of the drill is right after APEC, as Japan
heralded two months ago for a joint drill simulated to take back Senkaku
Islands.
My suspicion is confirmed by
