Considering the political roadblocks in Okinawa, and the hefty cost of Japan's tsunami recovery effort, it is likely this ally nation would actually welcome a troop relocation delay, Roy said.
"The U.S. political system allowing for reconsideration of the agreement, at least partly on the bases of new political and economic circumstance ... its partner government has to work in, ... doesn't make the U.S. look like a welcher, but in fact a more desirable partner in that respect," Roy said.

(2011-07-24) In the last several years, China's leadership has placed high priority on shifting its economy from a "factory model" based on low-cost manufacturing of products designed elsewhere, to one that includes more original Chinese technology and design. To do this, Beijing has instituted so-called "indigenous innovation" policies resulting in massive investments in research-and- development infrastructure and higher education.
