What happens
Japanese and Chinese forces have skirmished inconclusively over the strategic Marco Polo Bridge located just southwest of Beijing. China has accepted full responsibility for the incident, forwarding an apology to Japan as well as agreeing to extensive territorial concessions. This has surprised many experts, who had predicted that the border tensions would erupt into a full-blown war. Does this mean lasting peace in Asia?
