Japan's security strategy – China in its sights

The China-Japan relationship is characterized by hostility, radio silence and, at the same time, close cooperation. In East Asia policy, the China-Japan relationship has a high priority. This is because both countries are the most strategically important and influential states in the Asian region. But also because of the recent shifts in power from the West to the Asian continent.    But the relationship is once again increasingly under a negative light. China's growing global power claims are fueling conflicts between the neighbors. Japan is increasingly concerned about China's behavior in the Indo-Pacific, the human rights situation in Hongkong and its treatment of the Uighur minority in Xinjiang.    From U.S. & EU influence in the Indo-Pacific to technology splits and import boycotts to digital partnerships - all China-Japan news from the Table.editors!
