Abe's Active Pacifism

Quote from Bloomberg:

"Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, pressed by China and seeking to strengthen ties with the U.S., is considering Japan’s biggest change in military engagement rules since World War II."


Nationalist PM Abe wants to transform peace loving and war-renouncing Japan to a peace making country that has a strong military capability--which he defines it as the Active Pacifism. Will Abe's self-fulfilling prophecy leads to a higher level of peace and stability in East Asia? Or, it will create more tensions?
