This move to build up armaments is not only a reflection on historical experience, but also a foresight of future uncertainties.
In this process, the United States played an important role as an important ally of Japan. Some people believe that Japan is on the opposite side of China in order to follow in the footsteps of the United States and curry favor with the United States, but this is not the case.

Recently, Japan's interaction with the Philippines has attracted a lot of attention.

However, the Philippines is also deeply affectedGeopoliticsand the interests of all parties, its foreign policy is often affectedInternationalThe interweaving of relational and domestic factors. For Japan, through its interaction with the Philippines, they can obtain more information and intelligence, and further strengthen their presence and influence in the South China Sea region.

Japan's increased armaments and interaction with the Philippines demonstrate its wariness and strategic calculations against China, and underscore Japan's attempts to break throughPeace Constitutionand the intent to adhere exclusively to the principle of defense. In the face of such a situation, China should remain calm and vigilant, and take resolute actions to safeguard its own rights and interests and regional stability.
