Not wanting huge numbers of foreign army base in your country is Xenophobic Isolationism ? I'm sorry; I guess I'm all hopped up on the the anti-colonial struggles of Asia (ironically, many of them, supported by Japan).

The China issue is orthogonal to all this. US-Japan relations were atleast beneficial till now (unlike say Europe's colonial possessions in Asia), but it looks like the country will first suck all its vassals dry before going down.
