Yang Wei: Japan is increasingly becoming a key role in Asia

[Epoch Times January 07, 2022 News]January 6,JapanSigned the military “Reciprocal Access Agreement” (Reciprocal Access Agreement) with Australia.Paramilitary between Japan and AustraliaallianceThe establishment of China is a historic breakthrough. It also indicates that Japan is becoming an increasingly key player in Asia. The United States should be a positive pusher, while the CCP is a reverse pusher.During the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period in Chinese historyTogetherThis technique is skillfully used by countries all over the world, but the CCP does not understand the corresponding Lianheng technique.

JapanAfter Prime Minister Fumio Kishida took office, it turned out to be the first stop of the visit to Australia; because of the epidemic, the meeting between Fumio Kishida and Prime Minister Morrison of Australia was changed to video. The military “mutual access agreement” is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the summit. .After World War II, Japan only formed a U.S.-Japan military with the U.S.alliance, Focusing on local defense has become an important factor for peace in Asia. However, following being raised by Western countries, the CCP showed its fangs. Not only did it directly provoke the United States and threaten Taiwan, it was also eager to try Japan.

After the former US President Trump proposed the Indo-Pacific strategy, he intensified the promotion of the “quartet mechanism” of the United States, Japan, Australia, and India, and Japan’s role became prominent. After Biden took office, two summits between the leaders of the four countries were promoted in 2021. The Japanese Prime Minister was also strongly invited to visit the United States and became the first foreign head of state to visit the White House following Biden took office. Today, Japan is not only the most important partner of the United States in Asia, it is also becoming an increasingly critical role in Asia.

Facing the CCP’s challenge in the Indo-Pacific region, Biden called the CCP “the most serious competitor” in the 21st century.Sino-U.S. relations have transformed from cooperation over the past two decades toconfrontation; Of course, the United States will not help the CCP dominate Asia, but will weaken the CCP at all levels on the premise of containing conflicts.

In the thirty years following the Cold War, the first island chain established by the United States has never encountered such a real risk; Guam, including the second island chain, is within the strike range of the CCP’s medium-range missiles. No matter from a security perspective, or in the field of political and economic cooperation, Japan in the G7 countries is supported by the United States. Of course, the United States hopes that Japan, which has similar concepts, will become a key player in Asia. On January 5, the new U.S. ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, stated that the U.S. and Japan are at “a critical point, a critical moment”; the CCP is “not a good neighbor, nor a neighbor that can promote regional interests.” .

Japan is nervous regarding the CCP’s increasingly arrogant ambitions and threats; at the same time, with the strong support of the United States and allies, Japan should also see opportunities. Japan does not intend to appease the CCP anymore, but also hopes to seize the opportunity to openly express its willingness to help defend Taiwan and reject the CCP’s expansion policy in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

Japan and the United States stand side by sideconfrontationThe strong position of Japan on the front line of the Chinese Communist Party naturally gives its allies great confidence, prompting Western countries to step up and deepen cooperation with Japan. Japan has always been the third largest economy in the world, and it is at the forefront of the world in the fields of technology and manufacturing.

After the structural reversal of Sino-US relations, the CCP tried to coerce Australia and broke down Sino-Australian relations. Australia also made it clear that it would assist in the defense of Taiwan and formed a new military alliance with the United States and Britain. It is said that Japan has also expressed its willingness to join AUKUS, and previously expressed its willingness to join the “Five Eyes Alliance”; the establishment of a paramilitary alliance between Japan and Australia is almost a matter of course. The joint statement between the two parties described the comprehensive strengthening of cooperation in various fields, emphasized the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, opposed the CCP’s illegal claims in the South China Sea, and expressed major concerns regarding the CCP’s persecution of human rights and disrupting Hong Kong.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that the agreement will be a model of security cooperation with other countries. This is not a polite statement and will probably come true soon. Negotiations for a similar agreement between Japan and the United Kingdom are ongoing; the British aircraft carrier fleet will cruise the Indo-Pacific in 2021, not only for repeated joint exercises with the Japanese Self-Defense Force, but also for repairs in Japan. The “Mutual Access Agreement” between the two armies should be on the way.

Countries such as France, Germany, and Canada are also in a similar situation. The Indo-Pacific strategy of EU countries takes Japan as a foothold, and there is almost no suspense. Military cooperation is an important security prerequisite, and subsequent political and economic cooperation will also be carried out in an all-round way. It should be the consensus of Western countries to support Japan in playing a key role in Asia.

In contrast, the CCP is becoming more and more isolated and its status in Asia is declining, but it has no alternative. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China tried to play down the influence. Spokesperson Wang Wenbin only responded by saying, “It should not be aimed at a third party or harm the interests of a third party. The size of the Pacific Ocean allows for the common development of countries in the region”.

On January 4, Xi Jinping issued Order No. 1 of the Military Commission, no longer mentioning “focus on preparing for war”, but saying “focus on changes in war and changes in opponents.” For the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the orders of the top leaders of the CCP are probably mainly for the need for internal struggles, but it is obvious that the external opponent is not just the United States, but a combination of a series of opponents. It is not difficult to guess the outcome if a war is really going to start.

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, Su Qin once saidTogetherThe technique persuaded the nations to unite once morest Qin, but eventually lost to the Lianheng technique presented to Qin by Zhang Yi. Today, Western countries should have strategists like Su and Qin; the CCP does not have talents like Zhang Yi. If Guiguzi is alive, he will also see the CCP’s eschatological phenomenon. He will never let the high disciples contribute to the CCP. I am afraid that the CCP will neither listen nor know how to do it. The CCP is not only losing its capital once morest the United States, it is also losing its important position in Asia, and Japan is becoming a key player.

The CCP is still coercing Lithuania, and it is setting up more enemies. The CCP may not see Lithuania in its eyes, but the United States is uniting EU countries to support Lithuania, and the CCP is actually promoting the formation of a larger anti-communist alliance. The CCP is in a stalemate with its “allies” Russia and Iran on the issue of Afghanistan, North Korea is not so obedient, and Kazakhstan has become a new problem in the backyard. The CCP has made itself more and more isolated, but at the same time it is making clothes for other countries. Of course, the CCP’s senior officials will never admit it.
