I recall recently that Japan has changed it's military stance from a defense force to a more powerful position due to China, too.

There are definitely changes in the wind in Japan, due to not only China but DPRK as well. The Far East is a pretty challenging corner of the world for them.

How long before Beijing claims that Japan is a rogue province of Red China?

Beijing can claim all they want - what they do NOT want to do, is provoke Japan.
While Japan has been reserved in the past seven plus decades, the Chinese will find out, without question, why they got their ass kicked decades ago, because Japan is not to be messed with.
Japan's military is currently ranked 5th worldwide and China needs to take note of that.
A nail on the head moment right there.
China claims to have the largest navy in the world but only when you add in coastal and river patrol vessels.
As far as a projection force goes it is out everythinged by the US for a start. Add the Japanese navy to this and look at the capabilities of vessels and you
get a poor scenario for the Chinese navy.
Japan starts work on their next generation of naval vessels as soon as the current one goes off the slip. Japan has started work on amphibious vessels
to ensure that any outer islands can be reached if necessary which is a response to aggressive flyovers by certain other parties.
There is a line in the sand being drawn and a couple of nations don't seem to see it.

The current federal government claim that they knew nothing and could do nothing about the lease of Darwin Port to the Chinese and did not support it.
To quote from Scott Morrison 'encouraged' Darwin Port lease with nearly $20 million incentive payment, Labor says
Labor has used the documents to accuse the Prime Minister, who was treasurer at the time, of offering a financial "sweetener" to get the controversial deal done.

It is possible anytime as the cultural revolution generation like Xi lost chances to learn history a lot.
Japanese originally belong to the northern racial family of Mongolian, Manchurian and Korean who were opposed to the Hans who now control the land of China. Historically, as China is also the motherland for the Japanese, Xi may say Japan is a part of China but vice versa.

Does it seem to anyone else that the end of WW II (after a brief timeout) is finishing up now?
The current Federal government has never claimed they knew nothing about the Darwin Port lease.
Since there is an election campaign on in Australia stories of accusations are just politics rather than fact.
There was no incentive payment given. The money received by the NT government was from the standard recycling assets system.
There was no 'sweetener' and no reason for one either.

Asia was at war before WWII and it really never ended even after Japan's surrender.

Asians did after Westerners under the name of democracy or communism for freedom and equality.
That was a radical power game in nature which was banned in Buddhism. I told this to a Burmese recently but he could not understand anymore. Too late to be back.

I do not understand this at all. Asians did what?
Good or bad, Asians imitated what Westerners did in Asia.
The Xinhai Revolution of China in 1911 was motivated by the western democracy.
Japanese colonialism was inspired by the western one in Asia.
Mao's revolution cannot be talked without Karl Marx's ideology.
The recent radical democracy movements in HK and Myanmar did not happen without the western influence.
Even the 99-year lease of Darwin Port is exactly what the UK did in HK, which looks a sort of China's revenge in the history.

I don't know where is this 'solomon island', unfortunately. But I don't think it is more important than China's new territory, the Persian Gulf.
Have in mind that Iran's regime, officially supports almost all Islamic terrorist groups, all around the globe.

The Solomon Islands are east of New Guinea and North east of Australia.
During WWII, the Solomon Islands saw considerable battles fought between the Allies and Japan, especially at Guadacanal.

The Solomon Islands campaign was where the P-39 demonstrated its complete domination of aerial combat.

Pacific nations walk away from region-wide trade and security deal with China
Pacific Island countries agree not to sign a region-wide trade and security deal with China as Foreign Minister Penny Wong pledges to build a "stronger Pacific family" through security and defence by bringing "new energy" to the region.
