How the US and Japan strengthen their military ties to counter China | DW News

US President Biden is hosting Japan's Prime Minister Kishida for talks focusing on the security situation in the Indo-Pacific.
Biden hailed the partnership between Washington and Tokyo as "unbreakable". The two leaders will be joined in Washington on Thursday by the Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr for a summit on the perceived security threat from China. It's the first such summit between the three nations.

In the UN's "Final Clauses of Multilateral Treaties, Handbook" published in 2003, it says : regarding the Taiwan Province of China, the Secretary-General follows the General Assembly’s guidance incorporated in resolution 2758 (XXVI) of the General Assembly of 25 October 1971 on the restoration of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations. The General Assembly decided to recognize the representatives of the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations. Hence, instruments received from the Taiwan Province of China will not be accepted by the Secretary-General in his capacity as depositary.

Sure is interesting to hear DW condemn Russia for violating Ukraine's sovereignty in one breath, and in another to actively praise and promote the U.S.'s attempts to violate China's sovereignty by aiding and militarizing separatists on the island. Also, interesting to hear them discuss the single dispute Japan has with China while supplying no details regarding it. Let me therefore explain how this came about. The Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands belong to China, but in 2012 Japan suddenly claimed them. By "nationalizing" the islands in 2012, Japan recognized that they did not belong to Japan, and that they were claiming them for the first time since WWII (Japan obviously thinks they should be "rewarded" for terrorizing South-East Asia in WWII). The U.S. then backed this obvious expansionism by extending their Mutual-Defense Treaty to cover the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands so that neither China nor Japan can use them without starting a war.

America's provocative path is raising concerns among countries in Asia The US Foreign Policy to keep Asia poor and divided as stated in a top-secret U.S. Foreign Policy document written 76 years ago is still in force. February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy: Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time. Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975.

What if Trump returns to power by end of year? Japan will have to depend on India for security then?

Common sense. National interests align so partnerships and alliances form. Learn some history and youll see examples. China and russia were begging for us aid back in ww2. Are you going to say it was also a master slave relationship? Guess not.

The challenge is not else, it's the freedom of bullying hegemony of west itself is challenged.

[@greendragonspirit1646]

Japan is like an ex bully that is now too weak to defend themselves against their grown up victim ( china) who is now stronger.

[@ryanspinoza6586]

To be fair, Japan can still defend themselves against most countries, there's only very few that can actually harm or invade them. Probably only US or China, and that's only because US have kept Japan pacified since WW2 and deliberately slowed down their growth during Japan's economic and technological boom in fear of being able to outcompete US. If Japan was not held back by US, their military would've been the strongest in Asia.

[@michaelparas6968]

Who is now the bully. There i fixed it for ya. China is the new japan in asia. Russia the new german reich in europe.

Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States, the United States had been selling steel and other materials to Japan, becoming an accomplice of Japan's aggression in Asia.

[@michaelparas6968]

The us is still setting up and maintaining manufacturing companies in china, its a costly mistake. We should be pulling out our manufacturing in china and outsourcing it to friendly countries. The us and the west fueled china’s military and economic growth, becoming an accomplice of china’s aggression in asia.

[@jackjhmc820]

Japan should defend its former colony that it ruled with brutality for 50 years? Really ? Israel is allowed to colonise the west bank, so in the extremely unlikely and irresponsible move, is America thinking about Taiwan becoming part of Japan and then japan could do a proxy war with China like ulkraine against Russia? Like sending military aids to Japan so the japanese can defend taiwan? You guys ever asked if Japanese locals, NOT the extremely unpopular politicians, want to wage a war against China over Taiwan? Must japanese military be dragged into a war with China over taiwan? Is japan truly a Democracy when most want to stay out of a war? All the talks about democracy is better than chinese communism, does it mean it s better alternative if taiwan is being colonised by democracy, just like how the west accepted the colonisation of the west bank? If you want to talk about international law, who is actively supporting israel with military aids and starving 2 million people in Gaza or doing nothing when the west bank is Illegally occupied? Taiwan being occupied by China would be MORE legitimate under international law than israel colonising west bank because almost ALL countries recognise the one China policy. If the west accepted colonisation in the west bank, is it not the height of hypocrisy if a war over Taiwan happens despite the island being part of China, with its full official name being the Republic of China?

A civilised Japan shows just how successful the Australian and American occupation of their country was.

[@YUTAB-ck9rp]

no, it was purely Japan's effort to keep themselves civilized. I don't know about Australia, but America is definitely not a civilized country... I'm not saying it's bad thou.

[@seanlander9321]

@@YUTAB-ck9rp Ah no. The Japanese became civilised after 1945 where thanks to Australia and America occupying their defeated country, they could vote, travel, own property and live with a democratic structure instead of being the subjects of a feudal system.

[@jhca4671]

Japan's civilization and its status as one of the most civilized countries on earth are purely a result of Japanese efforts. It has continued for thousands of years and met turbulences in the 1930s and 1940s, but you're giving credit to those who were just as brutal back then. Not to mention how pathetic you sounded by tagging along Australia with the American occupation of Japan lol. No one thinks Australia's role in this was significant, not the Japanese, not the Americans, no one lol

[@seanlander9321]

@@jhca4671 Oh dear, someone who doesn’t know that Australia occupied a third of Japan and America the remainder. You see, civilisation teaches history, and the superior culture won. 1945 was the beginning of Japan leaving the backwardness of feudalism behind, because it was forced to, not because it chose to as its people lacked any capacity for democratic development.

[@jhca4671]

@@seanlander9321@seanlander9321 Japan left feudalism with the Meiji Restoration in 1868; no one in the field of history refutes this point. Also, give me one peer-reviewed publication that says Australia occupied one-third of Japan lol. Name the areas Australia occupied
