Analysis of Japan's New Trends in Intervening in the Taiwan Strait Affairs
In response to changes in the regional power structure and security situation,the United States has continuously urged Japan to take on more alliance responsibilities.To ensure the effectiveness of the U.S.security commitments,Japan has been continually enhancing its self-defense capabilities and strengthening its alliance deterrence.Japan and the U.S.have gradually established a joint operational framework for responding to regional emergencies,including the Taiwan Strait.They aim to strengthen their deterrence capabilities against China and maintain the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.However,Japan does not want to be fully drawn into the conflict and has maintained a degree of independence in its approach to the Taiwan question.The traditional active-passive relationship in the U.S.-Japan alliance has undergone some changes,with Japan's importance in the Taiwan question becoming more prominent.The extent to which Japan intervenes in the Taiwan Strait directly relates to the deterrence capability of the U.S.-Japan alliance in intervening in Taiwan-related issues.Several factors limit Japan's level of intervention in the Taiwan Strait,including its reluctance to be drawn into war,concerns about international law and Taiwan's status,criteria for crisis recognition,public opinion,and budgetary constraints.
