Japan's foreign minister says Tokyo looks to deepen U.S. ties

What if America wants to focus on it's own internal issues after decades of foreign intervention and wars?

What if Trump comes back in 2024. He can run again, and Biden might be too old for a second term.

A stronger Japan is needed and necessary in the world that we live in today.

We can't control what America does, but we can control what Japan does, we should have the ability and tools necessary to maintain peace in the region ourselves.

Yes, yes!!

Go deeper, deeper!!

Yessssssss! aaah~

'Japan hopes to deepen its alliance with US to get its ally continuously committed to regional security'. It does appear precarious Tokyo would have no other better or functionable option than to keep relying on the mighty Washington again. Seemingly rather pathetic..

Easily done.

Get one of the big local banks or maybe one of the quasi government investment funds to make use of Hunter's acknowledged expertise in helping them devise and implement investment strategies.  Maybe with an Eco twist.

@wakarimasen.

Hunter Biden expertise. Funny!

As I commented earlier. Japan has seen some future threats the to its way of life and sovereignty. Most in Japan I think are very unaware of it or just uncomfortable talking about it. The modern problems and threats generated by the China and Chinese aggression has caught up with a pretty much un-protected Japan. Its going to take a joint effort to deepen ties. Deepen ties? More like fight a war that's already started.

China released COVID on to the world to destabilize the world.

Like it or not Beijing has un-officially officially declared war.

Japan is opposed to any Chinese attempts to “unilaterally change the status quo” by force in the East and South China Seas and has promoted the FOIP concept with the United States to counter China's growing influence. Japan has its own territorial disputes with China over Japanese-controlled islands in the East China Sea that Beijing also claims.

This is a beautiful above. I love it.

Japan will become so far superior in everyway collaborating with the U.S. And vise versa. Lets just hope the greedy Democrats in the swamp will not be sticking their fat greedy fingers in the arms race pie here for a taste. An APAC arms race is about seriously go down in the next ten years here. Cause if China is not put on a leash here and now. We will all be speaking Chinese in the next two decades. Beijing needs to be counter measured with extreme prejudice.

Why???.please learn from past lessons. It Is 76 years after world War 2.

China released COVID on to the world to destabilize the world.

Good grief. Anyone who reads my posts here knows what an enemy I consider China to be, but that claim is simply preposterous. It was a mistake caused by their general sloppiness, lack of adequate procedures and stunningly low food safety measures in too many markets. The mistake was compounded by 11 critical days of indecision and the strong CCP habit of suppressing news of anything bad to save face and control the story for the sake of preventing a general uprising. But as far as it being a planned pandemic? You discredit yourself making such ridiculous claims. It's not credible and if you know how China you know the opportunities for a pandemic to grow out of control in that densely crowded country are manifold.

If the west can manage to contain and deter China and prevent a big war, in two decades China will not look nearly as fearsome as it does today. Patience and sufficient arms and the credible threat to use them is what are necessary. But in particular patience. The glaciers that feed the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers are melting fast and in a decade their runoff will be halved. When those rivers start to run out of water the effects on China's economy will be massive. China doesn't have enough arable land to feed its population and is losing land every year to desertification. The aquifers under Bejing are being drained much faster than they recharge. Water shortages are on the horizon. On top of that, China has a demographic problem that makes Japan's look minor in comparison. Their working age population peaked in 2014 and has declined ever since. Their overall population is peaking now. By the middle of this century their population will likely be below 1 billion, perhaps well below it, and it's composition tilted heavily toward aged and retired. The fertility rate in heavily industrialized northern China is down to only 0.5, meaning only one baby is born for ever four adults. Meditate on that. China is not a country built on immigration like the US, Canada or Australia, nations able to replenish their young workforce with immigrants. China will stagnate as it's population declines and ages, compounded by lack of water and desertification of existing arable land.

Japan hopes to strengthen its partnership with the US in order to continually devote its ally to regional defence.' It seems precarious that Tokyo will have no other safer or more practical option than to focus on the mighty Washington again. Seemingly quite pathetic...
