JA 31 – Japan’s Position in the Overall Security Arrangements for the Asia-Pacific Region in 2013 – Oct 2013

In September 2012, the world discovered how much Sino-Japanese relations have deteriorated since the mid-2000s after violent anti-Japanese protests enflamed Chinese public opinion. In Europe and the United States, some were concerned about the repercussions of these tensions on regional balances in Pacific Asia, as well as about worldwide economic recovery, one of driving forces of which relies on commercial interdependencies between China and Japan. This degradation in Sino-Japanese relations was also interpreted as the outcome from redistributing power relations between the second and third world power in favour of China’s economic, military, diplomatic and cultural affirmation, as opposed to Japan’s structure, weakened by its demographic decline and the catastrophes that took place in 2011. Although the vision of the “return of Japan” on the regional scene, cultivated by Abe’s government today, is well-received by their South-Eastern Asian partners, who also fear Chinese maritime ambitions, it relies on projects that aim to increase their military response capabilities. These projects, associated with attempts currently under review from Article 9 of the 1946 Constitution, would be poorly received by both China and South Korea, but also by a portion of American public opinion, which is highly critical of the Japanese neo-nationalist trend.
