Japan's"Indo-Pacific Strategy"was proposed by late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.It has been inherited and developed by incumbent Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.The new version of Japan's"Indo-Pacific Strategy"has broader scope with a"universal"concept,a wide range of topics and partners,and strong securitization and pan-security overtones.It is a comprehensive international strategy of Japan that combines attributes of alliance,anti-China containment,security,and global orientation.Japan's strengthening of its"Indo-Pacific Strategy"is driven by considerations such as maintaining its status as an economic power,its long-cherished desire to become a"political power,"and containing China.It will undermine global development,harm regional maritime security,and interfere with China's reunification process.Japan's"Indo-Pacific Strategy"faces triple constraints,including strategic overdraft,unstable economic environment,and weak external support.Although the above constraints may be difficult to reverse the direction of Japan's efforts for its"Indo-Pacific Strategy"in the short term,its effectiveness will be limited.
