WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top U.S. military commander in the Asia-Pacific region acknowledged his concern on Thursday over entrenched tensions between Japan and China, a day after Japan's prime minister evoked comparisons to Britain and Germany before World War One.

Admiral Samuel Locklear, the head of the U.S. military's Pacific Command, said the role of the United States was to keep encouraging restraint, professionalism and "hope there will be diplomatic dialogue and a solution to this."
