In 2003, he declared, “the end of the American era ... At the beginning of the second decade of this century, the geopolitical axis is likely to shift towards the Pacific. China is gradually developing into a first-rate economic power - possibly with corresponding military strength. Japan will someday break out of the recession and contribute to the rise of Asia. "
