#1 IMO this an indirect but clear sign of Beijing's escalating control over the DPRK, as it is actually China + PLA whom controls the DPRK Army + Missle, NucProgs.

* FYI see also DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [AFP Seoul]NORTH KOREA SAYS JAPAN HAS CROSSED MILITARY
"DANGER LINE", espec wid its launching of its new "IZUMO" class "flat-top destroyer" = aircraft carrier.

* SAME > [Daily Mail Online] JAPAN'S WAR THREAT TO NORTH KOREA, iff the DPRK e-v-a-r! embarks on its own indigenous Nuke Weapons Program.

* TOPIX > [WaPo] NEW JAPANESE HELICOPTER CARRIER DRAWS CHINA WARNING TO ASIA.

Beijing again urges Regional + International vigilance over China-alleged Japan's militarist ambitions to return to being a major world power.

* Also from GLOBAL TIMES > JAPAN SHOULD NEVER FORGET THE FATE OF PREVIOUS "IZUMO" IN WAR OF [East Asia] AGGRESSION, i.e. fate that befell Militarist Japan after its war-obsessed Govt. adopted policies which built the aggressive + powerful Imperial Japanese Navy only to see it destroyed during WW2, + resulted in Japan suffering two atomic bombings + incurring the long-lasting hatred + mistrust of those Asian nations it attacked or conquered.

* SAME > JAPAN BECOMING TOO AMBITIOUS FOR ITS GOALS.

* BIG NEWS NETWORK > SON OF CHINESE TYCOON PLACES DIAOYU AD IN NEW YORK TIMES, affirming + proclaiming Chinese history + sovereignty over the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands using the same public relations method before America that his father did a couple of years before.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > MNLF CHAIRMAN NUR MISUARI THREATENS TO DECLARE MORO INDEPENDENCE - PHILIPPI | [PHIL Star] NUR SAYS GOVT. ACTIONS PUSHING MNLF TO DECLARE INDEPENDENCE.

The PHIL may lose Mindanao + other one day, which in turn may get the Commie NPA riled up as well as other types of local insurgent groups.

* SAME > KIRAM: [Sulu] SULTANATE NOT PART OF [MILF-led] BANGSAMORO - MANILA STANDARD.

Winky-wink - that remains to be seen???

Beijing would like to take this opportunity to once again KINDLY/POLITELY remind Japan, ROK, Taiwan, PHIL, Vietnam, ASEAN, + even Radical Islam that IT HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS, + THEY DON'T.
