hackles #3

raise hackles（毛を逆立てて怒る）は過去にも何度か書いています。でも必ず反発してくるでしょうね。（UG）

Japan's new prime minister on Friday offered the world a vision of his country as a reinvigorated Asian power, pledging to restore its influence in a region where it is increasingly eclipsed by China.

"Japan is not, and will never be, a tier-two country," Shinzo Abe said in a speech to members of the US foreign policy establishment, following his first meeting with President Barack Obama.
"It is high time, in this age of Asian resurgence, for Japan to bear even more responsibility to promote our shared rules and values."

Mr Abe's declaration that "Japan is back" could raise hackles in China, where a new leadership is keen to establish that country as a more dominant political force, befitting its position as Asia's largest economy.
