Article was created on January 20. The article looks fine, well-written and every paragraph/claims are sourced. Copyvio detector returns 0.0%, everything is within policy. I am able to verify the hook fact as the page of the source is available online. I am slightly worried that the source does not explicitly explain what a "rare occasion" this was, although it was indirectly expressed. I don't think this is a concern, but perhaps the hook could be rephrased to express more directly that the two countries rarely cooperates with each other due to hostility over Senkaku Islands dispute (which is more explicitly expressed in the source).

- @Alex Shih: Thanks for your review. The source does explicitly say it was a "rare and much-needed opportunity for Japanese and Chinese military cooperation", except that it's the last sentence in the preceeding page, cut off by Google preview. Maybe you can see it in this link? Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 19:52, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
