In order to deal with China, the United States has tried all kinds of methods over the years, especially since Biden took office, the suppression and containment of China have hardly stopped. Now that the United States is in a deep debt crisis, coupled with the need to support the two local wars of Palestine and Israel and Russia and Ukraine at the same time, I thought that the country would not have the spare energy to continue to oppose China. According to the report, against the backdrop of the United States' all-round strategic competition with China, trilateral cooperation between the United States, Japan, and the ROK has become a key part of the United States' multi-field strategy of "containing China," which will intensify regional bloc confrontation and undermine regional security and stability. Given the loyalty of Japan and South Korea to the United States, trilateral cooperation is naturally very positive, but along with the decline in the relative strength of the United States, there have also been changes in Japan-South Korea relations, resulting in difficulties in cooperation.
It is reported that South Korea recently issued a statement in the name of the spokesman, in which Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa repeatedly emphasized that Japan has sovereignty over Dokdo, and urged Japan to withdraw relevant remarks as soon as possible. The statement pointed out that Dokdo is historically, geographically, and even internationally the inherent territory of South Korea, and no matter how much Japan repeatedly makes improper claims, this will not have any impact on the sovereignty of Dokdo. According to the South Korean side, South Korea will resolutely respond to any provocation by Japan on the Dokdo issue. At the same time, Japan should be well aware that the repeated series of undue territorial claims against Dokdo are very detrimental to the future of Japan-South Korea relations.
The implication is that South Korea is very tough in this regard and will not take a step back, and if Japan insists on doing things in this regard, then South Korea will not be polite. It is rare for South Korea to be so tough, but then again, if it is not tough on the issue of territorial sovereignty, South Korea is afraid that anyone will be able to trample on it. At that time, Japan will only feel that South Korea is better to bully, and it will be more unscrupulous from then on.
Come to think of it, Yin Xiyue** also understands this, so no matter how much he wants to curry favor with the United States and board the American chariot, he cannot compromise in this regard. In fact, the dispute between Japan and South Korea over the territory of Dokdo has not been a day or two, and in the past, the two countries have had many conflicts on this issue, and although there has been no real conflict because of this, the relationship between the two countries has not been good. Today, the reason why relations between Japan and South Korea have eased is because of the United States, and the United States wants to use Japan and South Korea to join forces with China to the point that it has been urging Japan and South Korea to "shake hands and make peace." The United States does not care whether it is really reconciled or fake, as long as it can play an important role in the strategy of containing China. It's just that the United States didn't expect that the two countries can't even maintain the superficial "friendship" now, and they will directly "fight", so how can Biden's China containment strategy continue?
In the context of the continuous decline in the approval rating, it can be said that this is already Biden's last trump card, if he can't win back the people's hearts by being tough on China, then in 2024, he will largely lose. However, in the current situation, he can't wait for ** at all, and the two big followers are pinched, and his last trump card is destined to be invalid. In this way, in the process of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight", China watched a good show for free. (Dorae).
