Japan?s strategy amid US?China confrontation has focused on securing national
defense and economic prosperity by maintaining Japan?s alliance with the United
States and promoting Asia?s socioeconomic integration. Japan is working toward an
institutional order based on universal values. It realizes that such a long-term
goal requires coexistence, including with countries in the midst of integrating
into the political and economic world order, and prioritizes stability. This
approach explains the historical development of Japan?China relations since the
1970s. During this period, Japan has expected to maneuver China into integration
with global politics through economic statecraft while maintaining its alliance
with the US. During the current US?China confrontation, Japan faces the challenge
of maintaining this complex strategic position in the US?China?Japan triangle.
Its reaction to this new reality is to enhance its alliance with the US
(including cooperation for economic security) and strengthen international
partnership to promote its preferred mode of institutional order, while
maintaining diplomacy with China.
