The"freedom of navigation"in the East and South China Seas does not face security threats,but Japan's Kishida government has tried to make it a security issue by initiating the issue of"freedom of navigation"in diplomacy,mobilizing public opinion by strengthening internal and external propaganda,and expanding the dispatch of the Self-Defense Forces to the"Indo-Pacific"region.The construction of security on the issue of"freedom of navigation"is subordinate to and serves Japan's grand strategy,reflecting Japan's multiple strategic intentions,including accelerating its military build-up and expansion,competing for dominance of international rules,restraining China's maritime development,and engaging in competition for a new international frontier.Japan's securitization of"freedom of navigation"has confused the international community,undermined the political mutual trust between China and Japan,exacerbated the security risks in the Asia-Pacific region,and fueled the tendency towards the generalization of security in international politics.
