A few days ago, Prime Minister Kanada in Japan said when visiting the United States that the Russian and Ukraine War marked the complete end of the world order after the Cold War.In serious danger.If Russia's behavior is not restricted, the war will be extended in other parts of the world, which will also be in Asia. This is the so -called "Ukraine Today, Asia Tomorrow".
Therefore, Japan, the United States and Europe must deal with China together.Because China is the main challenge of Western countries, especially the unique view of the China on international order, the allies will never be accepted and will never allow any unilateral forces to change the status quo and will strengthen deterrence.
This is because Xi Jinping has proposed the concept of "common value of human beings". It advocates that non -Western countries can decide their own connotation in terms of freedom and democracy, instead of following the Western model and obtaining a widely responding place.Shocking.For example, as soon as the foreign minister Qin Gang took office, he immediately visited Africa for the first time. Wherever he went, it covered the southeast and northwest of Africa. There was also the African League headquarters and the Arab League headquarters to expand the influence of China. This is also the practice of China after the New Year.Beijing attaches great importance to African countries.
In addition, Kishida also reiterated that Japan is concerned about China's military activities near the Diaoyu Islands, including the missiles launched by China last year to fall into the waters near Japan.Kishida was worried about the full support of Biden, and agreed that the United States was still firmly committed to the league with Japan, and praised the historic defense construction announced by Tokyo last month.
A few months ago, Japan announced the largest military assembly since World War II, and the mainstream trend of peacefulism after anti -war.This will increase the national defense budget of Japan in 2023 to a record of $ 55 billion, mainly due to the threat of China and North Korea.At the same time, Japan is also purchasing hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles, and develops anti -terrorist elite capabilities in order to hit the missile launch field that pose a threat to it and sign a space exploration cooperation agreement with the United States.
In addition, because President Biden Biden signed the "National Defense Authorization Law" at the end of last year, it will further draw Taiwan. The newly appointed Speaker of the House of Representatives McCarthy also set up a Chinese committee in the parliament, and even a traceability survey of the crown disease epidemic.Coupled with the speaker, it is likely to visit Taiwan recently.There is also a U.S. military reconnaissance aircraft a month ago, and a mainland government fighter aircraft is less than 6 meters away from the South China Sea. It is dangerous, causing the relationship between the two countries to be tense again.
Dan Danuken is arranging to visit China early this year, and it may discuss the issue of the situation of the Russian and Ukraine War and the Taiwan Strait.Before the Ambassador to the United States, Qin Gang was ready to return to the country, he had a goodbye to Brinken. At that time, both sides agreed to maintain a smooth communication channel and look forward to maintaining a close work relationship to promote the development of Sino -US relations.
This shows that the situation in the United States and China, which has the beginning of the spring, will be ups and downs through the two sides of Japan and the two sides of the United States.However, according to IMF's estimates, with the development of the Belt and Road Initiative and RCEP, as well as the expansion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS organizations, especially the strengthening of the economic and trade relations between China and the country of the Middle East, the domestic demand of mainland China has a linkage with external demand. ThisIt will undoubtedly greatly reverse the unfavorable situation of China's foreign demand in recent years.
This gives a considerable cause of Western countries, and it must improve economic and trade relations with the mainland to reduce the negative benefits brought by the Russian and Ukraine War. Both France and Australia have already expressed their statements.It can be seen that the current attitude of Western countries for China is bound to be internally colorful, and according to the convention, ideology and strategic planning, most of them still have to give their positions to actual economic and trade benefits. It can be seen that the cost of following the United States is indeed expensive.
