U.S.-Japan Reshaping the Indo-Pacific Regional Order and Japan's Changing Role
Since the Trump administration,the U.S.and Japan have joined forces to reshape the Indo-Pacific order in response to China's rise.Japan has changed its previous practice of"free-riding"on regional and international affairs,and has gradually become an indispensable supporter of the U.S.in the process of reshaping the Indo-Pacific regional order through active diplomatic activities.During the Trump administration,Japan influenced the introduction of the U.S.Indo-Pacific strategy.During the Biden administration,Japan has made up for the lack of U.S.international leadership,and the U.S.and Japan have formed a closer and more complementary relationship in jointly reshaping the Indo-Pacific regional or-der.The active-passive status of U.S.-Japan relations has changed to some extent.The main reasons for this shift in Japan lie in attempts to keep the United States'presence in Asia,ensuring the effectiveness of U.S.security commitments,and seeking a favorable international position in the changing international order.The U.S.and Japan remain divided on the fu-ture direction of the international order and the means of competition with China.A series of moves to strengthen the alliance will only make Japan more dependent on the United States in the face of China's rise.
