Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has arrived in the United States to begin an official visit to the United States, in fact, in addition to the bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden, the highlight of this April 11 is the trilateral summit between the United States, Japan and the Philippines. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos is already "full of confidence" in this summit, because on April 8, he had publicly called out to China, declaring that the Philippines would continue to engage in dialogue with China to promote the resolution of the South China Sea issue. Obviously, Marcos's remarks are not a goodwill from the Philippines, but a confidence from the Philippines, because the trilateral meeting between the United States, Japan and the Philippines in Washington is a strong support for the Philippines.
In fact, in addition to the South China Sea issue, the Taiwan Strait is also one of the contents of the trilateral summit between the United States, Japan and the Philippines, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has publicly stated on April 8, declaring that the Philippines is "an important partner in maintaining freedom and openness in the Indo-Pacific region", and at the same time has expectations for the trilateral summit, claiming that this is the so-called "historic meeting, which will be a rare opportunity to reflect how the three countries can unite to maintain regional peace and stability." Fumio Kishida has publicly threatened not to undermine the rules-based international order, which is obviously aimed at China, so there is already a rhythm of joint intervention in the Taiwan Strait under the leadership of the United States.
Regarding the trilateral summit between the United States, Japan, and the Philippines, the US media quoted James Brown, an expert on strategic issues, as saying that the Taiwan Strait issue would inevitably be mentioned at the summit. The US media said that the United States and Taiwan have the existence of the so-called "Taiwan Relations Act", for which the United States is obliged to provide weapons and equipment to Taiwan in accordance with the law, and US President Joe Biden has publicly stated that the United States will send troops to "protect" Taiwan, but at the same time, the US White House has reiterated that the United States' position of abiding by the "one-China policy" remains unchanged. The United States' insistence on providing weapons to Taiwan has already shown that the US strategy is actually to maintain the so-called "status quo." At the same time, the Philippines has also indicated that it will intervene in the Taiwan Strait, and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos has publicly stated that if there is a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, it is difficult to imagine that the Philippines will not intervene.
The Philippines and Japan are both military allies of the United States, and the US military has military bases deployed in both the Philippines and Japan, so in the event of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, when the US military insists on interfering in the Taiwan Strait, both the Philippines and Japan will be involved. Japanese politicians openly issued threats, declaring that "if there is something wrong with Taiwan, there is something wrong with Japan," thus exposing Japan's strategic intentions. Japanese officials have repeatedly exaggerated the importance of the Taiwan Strait, which has close ties with the island because Japan's energy is imported through the Taiwan Strait and its surrounding areas.
The trilateral summit between the United States, Japan, and the Philippines was held at a stage when the United States was actively encircling and containing China, thus exposing the sinister intentions of the United States, which is to use Japan and the Philippines to deal with China and use Japan and the Philippines to create more trouble on the Taiwan Strait issue. While the U.S. military has strengthened its deployment in Japan and the Ryukyus, it has increased the size of its military base in the Philippines to deter both the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. As for the collusion between the United States, Japan, and the Philippines, the Global Beacon Line believes that it is obvious that China will not sit idly by, and in fact, the PLA's Southern Theater organized troops to conduct joint patrols in the South China Sea on April 7 and April 8, and at the same time, the Eastern Theater also carried out patrols in the Taiwan Strait.
