Between countries, the most important thing is always their own interests. If this is ignored in dealing with the United States, it must be Japan that will ultimately suffer. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has adopted the strategy of "long-distance diplomacy and close attack", unwilling to get along with neighboring countries such as Russia and South Korea, but diplomatically bowing to the United States. However, Suga did not understand until now that the United States would not miss the opportunity, and Biden decided to let the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Carl Vinson loaded with F-35 stealth fighters dock at Yokosuka base, in an attempt to force Japan to make more concessions.
According to Kyodo News on August 29, on the order of President Biden, the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, which left San Diego, California, on August 2 arrived at the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan on August 28. The aircraft carrier, which it claims is an "operation to maintain global maritime security," is carrying more than 70 F-35C stealth fighters, CMV-22B carrier-based aircraft and 5,000 crew members. At the same time, the planned British aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth will also dock at Yokosuka base in September. The series of actions shows that the United States is strengthening its presence in the Indo-Pacific region, which is a grim warning for Suga, who plays a key role in the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy.
Against the background that the Iranian nuclear issue has not yet been resolved and Tehran has not yet agreed to abandon "de-dollarization", why did Biden let the aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson" dock at the Yokosuka base? Some people believe that this is to target China, which is peacefully rising. However, this is only one of the reasons for docking.
On the surface, the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy aims to unite nations, including Japan, India and Australia, to compete with China and stop China's rise. In fact, the Biden administration's Indo-Pacific strategy aims to strengthen the U.S. military presence and influence and consolidate its hegemonic position in Asia and globally by working with allies such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France to deploy more aircraft carriers and warplanes in the Indo-Pacific region. That's a misjudgment for national leaders like Suga, Modi and Morrison who are trying to strengthen ties with the United States and play a key role in the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, as they have all been targeted by the White House.
As prime minister of Japan, Suga has had to maintain the U.S.-Japan alliance, but he may see the benefits of bringing Japan closer to the United States and playing a frontline role in Indo-Pacific strategy. First, through low-profile diplomacy, Biden is confused and mistaken for a loyal ally of the United States, thereby reducing the positive pressure on Japan. Second, Suga may hope to bolster Japan's power by boosting its economy and defense, and eventually free itself from U.S. control. However, the Biden administration also has its own plans, and they want to control Japan and South Korea by increasing the US military presence in Asia and force them to share more military spending. In addition, the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy also aims to take advantage of India's internal contradictions and make India compromise on some issues to obtain more arms orders and economic benefits.
In short, the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy is a game involving multiple Asian countries, including Japan, India, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany and France. For Japan and other countries, it could mean losing more than gaining gains. With the actions of the Biden administration, Japan's golden age may be coming to an end, and the possibility of being divided by many countries cannot be ignored. While the remarks of American expert James Holmes may be exaggerated, it serves as a reminder to Japanese leaders that they should not underestimate U.S. intentions and determination.
As Biden pursues American victory, leaders in Japan and other countries need to be soberly aware that the United States will not show mercy to their subordinates and should adopt a cautious foreign policy to protect its national interests. The world is complex, and every country must tread carefully to ensure that its future is not manipulated by others.
