Recently, the United States and Japan have been very active in military and diplomatic actions, holding the "2 +2" talks between the foreign ministers and defense ministers held by the United States and Japan in March, issuing a strongly worded joint statement, in addition to declaring that the US-Japan alliance prides itself as the cornerstone of peace, security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region, exaggerating the Chinese threat, plotting to oppose China's promulgation of the new Coast Guard law, and interfering in South China Sea and Taiwan Strait affairs. The United States and Japan point fingers at China's internal affairs.
With the U.S.-Japan Leaders' Summit held in Washington, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and U.S. President Joe Biden met in Washington. The United States and Japan have rearranged their old tune, emphasizing intervening in peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region, while Japan has cooperated with the United States in dancing and riding on the US chariot, changing Japan's previous relatively balanced approach, gradually tilting toward the United States, strengthening the US-Japan alliance, and challenging China's core interests.
The U.S.-Japan summit issued a joint statement targeting China, and in addition to advocating the so-called "free and open Indo-Pacific", the core issue is to reaffirm that Article 5 of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty applies to the Diaoyu Islands; Emphasize the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and other issues. The US-Japan leaders' talks marked a major turning point in Japan's China policy. Japan closely follows the United States and wants to join forces with the United States to prevent China's rise strategy. Japan, which has long been in league with the United States, submitted a certificate of submission to the United States, and the tone of the US-Japan summit is that the United States and Japan will confront China with both hands.
Japan has strengthened its U.S.-Japan alliance and held talks with the European Union and Australia, and the Suga administration has made small moves, but the core content is China, and the joint statement "emphasizes the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and urges the peaceful settlement of cross-strait issues." As the Chinese Foreign Ministry pointed out: Out of its selfish desire to contain China, the Japanese Government has disregarded the basic norms governing international relations, and has repeatedly taken china to talk about it on various occasions, exaggerating the "China threat" and pulling "small circles" to advocate geopolitical confrontation. It can be seen that Japan is engaged in so-called "microphone diplomacy," ganging up to contain China's rise, in a vain attempt to win over the EU and Australia in confrontation, while Japan cooperates with the United States in engaging in military confrontation.
Holding a group of seven summit in britain and issuing a joint communiqué, adopting remarks that distort facts and reversing right and wrong, and wantonly interfering in China's internal affairs have once again exposed the sinister intentions of the United States and Japan and other countries, and the United States and Japan have engaged in "small circles" and group politics to win over European and American allies to join the US-Japan encirclement in the Asia-Pacific region. Compared with the Single-HandedNess of the Trump period, the practice of "fighting bravely and fiercely, opening the bow left and right" is not only to suppress strategic competitors, but also to suppress the strategy of US allies, and Biden is better at pulling gangs and factions to fight in groups. At present, Japan is actively responding to Biden's call to move closer to the United States, intending to sit on the US chariot and cooperate with the Biden administration's new strategy and new routine for China to prevent China's rise strategy.
Militarily, the United States and Japan are also quite active in holding military exercises; in addition to the United States, Japan, and France holding various military exercises in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, the US "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier strike group and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force frigates have also held various military exercises. The G7 summit has just ended, the United States and Japan have played up China at the summit, US President Biden tried to list China as a strategic target of NATO at the NATO summit, and the United States has turned around and colluded with Asian allies to hold large-scale military exercises in the Asia-Pacific region, trying to challenge China in the Asia-Pacific region and show the military muscles of the United States and Japan.
According to the Global Network, Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said that the United States and Japan will jointly hold the "largest military exercise in history", and the military exercise code name is "Shield of the East". The large-scale US-Japan "Shield of the East" land exercise was held in Japan, with about 3,000 troops participating. The so-called "Shield of the East" refers to the joint combat exercises carried out by the United States and Japan every year, aimed at strengthening the strategic coordination capabilities of the United States and Japan in dealing with the "imaginary enemy."
The "Shield of the East," which ended on June 24 and July 11, is known as the "largest military exercise in the history" of the United States and Japan, and the purpose of the military exercise is very strong, while the United States has carried out large-scale military exercises with great fanfare, and the purpose is obviously to come to China. Japan, as the forefront of the United States against China, actively cooperates with the United States in the Asia-Pacific region military deployment, and Japan was once the leader of the Asian economy, but in 2010, China's total GDP surpassed Japan's, and Japan's annual GDP was 5.39 trillion US dollars and China's total GDP was 5.75 trillion US dollars. Japan's total economic output fell from second place in the world to third place, and in Asia from the top of the list to second place.
After being surpassed by China, Japan has always been the second largest presence in Asia. The total economic aggregates of China and China have reversed, breaking Japan's position as the world's second largest economic power and Asia's largest economic power since 1968. In the face of the current reversal between China and Japan, Japan has shown a complicated mentality, and out of its own interests and safeguarding the interests of the United States, it is willing to be a pawn of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region and create various incidents on the Taiwan Strait issue and the Diaoyu Dao issue.
Moreover, Japan's military development is subject to the United States, coupled with the presence of US troops stationed in Japan, Japan has always been "castrated" in the military field, although Japan's military strength is quite high in the global ranking, but Japan's development of military strength is under the acquiescence and connivance of the United States, the most important thing is that Japan's military strength to serve the US global strategy and The Indo-Pacific strategy.
The United States and Japan held the "Shield of the East" based on Japan's own interests and U.S. interests. Based on Japan's domestic interests, it is Japan's two strategic objectives to strengthen in the direction of the Diaoyu Islands and the direction of the Taiwan Strait; Japan covets the Diaoyu Islands in a vain attempt to take the Diaoyu Islands for itself and strengthen the construction of military strength on the southwest islands, but with the development of china's naval and air force military strength, it is gradually becoming stronger, and in terms of military strength to suppress Japan, it is obvious that Japan's military strength is difficult to compete with China, and the introduction of the China Coast Guard Law is also an important means to counter Japan. The turning point in the military strength of China and Japan has always made Japan dare not cross the thunder pool. Therefore, Japan took the initiative to move closer to the United States, in response to the Biden administration's strategy to suppress China and tie Japan to the Us chariot.
The interest of the United States is that the United States has always strengthened its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region and maintained global hegemony, while the Biden administration claims that the United States focuses on great power competition and strengthens competition with China in various fields, but it is difficult for the United States to do it alone. In addition to strengthening the US-Japan alliance, the US claws are getting longer and longer, co-opting India and Australia, and in addition, Japan is vainly trying to form a so-called "small NATO" in Asia, and Japan is also using the United States to win over India and Australia, and so on, and it is also taking the lead in strengthening military relations with India and Australia.
The core purpose of the collusion between the United States and Japan is to prevent China's rise and rejuvenation and create all kinds of troubles on the road to China's rise and rejuvenation. Biden shouted the slogan of "The United States is back", And Japan intensified its efforts to create all kinds of troubles for China on the South China Sea issue, and the most important thing is Japan's loyalty to the United States masters. Since the "2 + 2" talks between the United States and Japan, Japan has worked harder to provoke China and actively tripped China up with the United States on issues such as the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
Japan cooperates militarily with the United States to exert pressure on China. The US-Japan joint statement said harshly: If China solves the Taiwan Strait issue, Japan will cooperate with the US military operation to send troops to intervene. Therefore, the practice of engaging in "small circles" between the United States and Japan is the key to causing tension in the Asia-Pacific region. The ambition of the United States to dominate the world is to maintain global hegemony, and it will not allow China to rise as a superpower at all, and the MENTALITy of the United States to contain China is obvious. As a pawn and loyal "servant" of the United States, Japan is determined to be the vanguard of the United States. In the future, the Asia-Pacific region will become more and more unstable, which will be caused by the wrangling and active provocation of the United States and Japan, and the trend of wretchedness and adultery highlights the mentality of the United States and Japan in encircling China.
The United States and Japan plan to hold a large-scale military exercise in September, with a total of 140,000 troops participating in the exercise. The United States and Japan frequently hold large-scale military exercises, the purpose of which is to show China the "alliance" relationship and military muscles between the United States and Japan, including attracting NATO countries to join the US-Japanese military exercises. It can be seen that the United States and Japan regard China as the largest imaginary enemy to train and prepare for war, draw NATO countries to join the US-Japan military alliance system, and establish a military alliance system to jointly oppose China.
As troublemakers of regional peace, the United States and Japan frequently show their muscles militarily, which obviously has ulterior motives. In the future Sino-US contest, Japan will continue to be willing to be the pawn of the United States, and it is bound to cooperate with the United States to create various incidents and rely on the US forces to constantly provoke China. Japan must not be soft-hearted, and in history, Japan's crimes can be described as overwhelming, and Japan, in cooperation with the United States, which is dancing with its teeth and claws, must not take the United States and Japan lightly and relax its vigilance; once the United States and Japan cross the red line, China must decisively strike back, strike the United States and Japan hard, and give the United States and Japan a head-on blow. In a word: We must not be merciful to enemies such as the United States and Japan, and we must make them pay a heavy price.
