There is a reason behind the Chinese propaganda outburst against Japan. It has to do with the fact that last week, Japan pledged to come to the defense of Taiwan in the event they were invaded by China. This was a very surprising announcement, since Japan is usually very restrained in its foreign policy. It must have come as an unpleasant surprise for China, as well.

If Japan is firm in its commitment to intervene in the event of a war between China and Taiwan, then that may potentially cause the United States to get drawn in. Their current policy on Taiwan is unclear, but there may be a move towards something more concrete.

Let's be realistic too Japan does not have an independent foreign policy of its own. Its attitude is simply an extension of American foreign policy. Japan isn't firm in its commitment to anything America is and that's why they've spoken.
