Description

Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2013 -422 p.China’s growing military capabilities and presence could even weaken Japanese confidence in America’s security commitment to Tokyo and increase support in Japan for a much larger and offensive-oriented conventional military—and perhaps even for the acquisition of nuclear weapons. Thus, if Tokyo and Washington do not effectively respond to this challenge, China’s growing offshore military capabilities could eventually increase the likelihood of serious political-military crises in East Asia, weaken the U.S.-Japan alliance, and undermine overall regional stability. These potential outcomes could diminish the future peace and prosperity of the entire Asia-Pacific region. Some of these adverse outcomes are already evident in relations between China, Japan, and the United States—the imbroglio between Tokyo and Beijing over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea is but one example.
