The first visit to the United States after taking office in the Japanese Prime Minister Kishi, the first visit to the United States, is the terminal of the five countries of the seven major industrial states (G7), and it is also the "drama meat" of his trip.Last Friday, he visited the White House, and his joint statement with the US President Biden's meeting pointed out that "China is inconsistent with the rules -based international order", and it also refers to the peace of Taiwan.Biden praised Japan's expansion decision.Previously, Kishida and Sunak signed an agreement that allowed Japan and Britain to march. Last month, the Japanese cabinet passed 3 new edition security documents to position China as "the biggest strategic challenge so far" and greatly increase military expenses. It is clear that the so -called enemy is to the so -called enemyThe square missile base has "counterattack ability".All signs show that Japan has determined to act as the "spear of East Asia" in the United States, while introducing NATO military forces at the same time, it is aimed at China.This means that there will be a new crisis in the Taiwan Strait and even the Peace of Northeast Asia, and the new Sino -Japanese relations that have just eased again will be trapped in the valley.

Visit the United States Study in China

Signing the British Army into East Asia

Before the Japan -US Summit, Japan -US Foreign Minister and Defense Minister held a "2+2" talks in Washington. In the joint statement after the meeting, it was accused of China's foreign policy "seeking to reshape the international order, making it conducive to itself"," It is the biggest strategic challenge in the Indo -Pacific region. "The statement stated for the first time that the scope of the Japan -US security treaty was expanded to space, and unanimously agreed to launch a joint study to deal with the "hypersonic weapons" in China and other countries, and the frontier of the US military in Japan will also be upgraded.According to reports, the Japanese side is planning to establish dozens of arsenal in several islands in Taiwan to prepare for the "Taiwan Strait".At the time of the fierce semiconductor competition in China and the United States, the Japanese Minister of Economic Minister Nishimura Kangmin visited the United States early in the United States that Japan intends to join the United States' chip technology ban on China.

In the trip to Europe, Kishida talked about the French President Macron in the first stop of Paris, "The attempt to change the status quo in the East China Sea and the South China Sea is becoming more and more intense, and the security environment is becoming increasingly tense."The Japanese and British three kingdoms will jointly develop the "Sixth Generation" stealth fighter F-X. It is the first time in Japan's military backbone cooperation with countries outside the United States.The "RAA" (RAA) is called the most important defense agreement of Japan and Britain's "more than a century".

Britain is the first European country to sign RAA with Japan. Although it is a two -way agreement, Japan does not have the possibility of intervention in European and Atlantic security affairs. ThereforeThe door.In January last year, Japan had signed RAA with Australia. Following the "US -Japan Security Treaty", it was the first time that foreign troops outside the United States were allowed to enter Japan.At present, Japan and the Britain have concluded RAA, and they have completed the puzzles with the Aukus Alliance (Aukus ".The Japanese law has long discussed the signing of RAA on the "2+2" platform on the Foreign Minister. This time, the two parties also reached a consensus on the establishment of a Japanese -intention security policy consultation mechanism.In the future, if Japan and NATO's core members signed a similar "agreement", NATO can shift its strategic focus from Europe to "Indo -Pacific" whipping longness and problems, which can be solved.Japan's spear head is the heart of Sima Zhao, and passersby knows it.

The trip to the five European and American countries this time is because the G7 summit will be held in the hometown of Hiroshima in May this year.In fact, two months ago, Kishida Cabinet fell into a scandal storm. Due to political contributions and other issues, many cabinet members resigned one after another. Kishida himself was also revealed that there were nearly a hundred blank invoices in the report of political donation.Polls show that the support rate of Kishida Cabinet is only 33%, and 46%of the respondents believe that Kishida should resign in the first half of this year.In this context, Kishida attempted to restore the support rate of downturn through diplomatic results.

New security documents are broken taboos

The most aggressive anti -China anti -China

Another background is that the Kishida Celery passed the new version of the national security strategy, the outline of the defense plan and the mid -term defense forces reserve plan through the new version of the national security protection strategy, the defense plan outline and the mid -term defense forces.Degree "the biggest strategic challenge" from North Korea to China.This year's military expense budget has increased by 26.3%compared with last year. In the next five years, the proportion of military expenditures will increase from 1%to 2%to $ 80 billion. At that time, Japanese military expenditures will rank third in the world.

3 documents show that Japan will break through many post -war taboos, including the "special defense defense" policy, "three principles of defense equipment transfer", etc. The "Peace Constitution" will also be emptied in disguise.It states that it can "counterattack" the enemy base and open up new battlefields such as the universe and the Internet.Some analysts believe that in the post -war traditional Japanese and American military division of labor, the United States is a "spear" and Japan is a "shield". Now, Japan will also become part of the "spear".In addition, Japan is also worried that the US military is not enough. It is committed to building a diversified military alliance outside the United States and Japan, and introducing more foreign military forces in Northeast Asia.

In November last year, Kishida stated when he met with Xi Jinping, President Xi Jinping in Bangkok, Thailand, that "Japan -China is a neighbor, which does not pose a threat to each other."But a month later, China was listed as a "biggest security challenge". In this trip to Europe and the United States, more swordsmanship refers to China. Japan has become the most aggressive person in the G7 in addition to the United States.And no faith.For geopolitical needs, Japan is even more urgent to curb China than the United States, and uses and expands the strategic competition between China and the United States to seek its own interests.Based on historical lessons and reality, Beijing formulated a set of exclusive national security strategies suitable for Japan, and made specific deployment.
