Colby, Trump’s nominee for Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Affairs, claimed in recent days that Japan should raise its defense spending to 3 percent of gross domestic product GDP as soon as possible .

Considering the relationship between the U.S. and Japan, and what Trump has done since taking office, many see Colby’s move as a disguised attempt to collect more protection money from Japan.

What is Japan’s reaction to this Citing Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s latest statement, Japan’s defense spending should be determined by Japan, not based on what other countries say.

Such a strong rejection of the U.S. is a rare occasion for Japan. It’s hard to believe that Shigeru Ishiba also thinks that the U.S. is here to collect more protection money from Japan

In fact, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but compared to Ishiba’s dissatisfaction with the US collecting more protection money from Japan, it seems to me that Ishiba is more unwilling to have Japan become cannon fodder under the anti-China strategy of the US.

Why did the United States suddenly ask Japan to increase its defense costs? Perhaps there is a reason for asking for more protection money, but part of the reason is that the United States wants Japan to become a fodder for its anti-China strategy.

As we all know, over the years China has been developing in both the economic and military fields, and with its international influence greatly enhanced, the United States has become more hostile to China.

We know very well that the United States has all along regarded China as a rival because it is worried about China’s rapid development in a number of areas, and it is afraid that its position and influence in the international arena will be replaced by that of China.

Therefore, the United States has all along been targeting China, and even during the epidemic, even though the United States itself is facing a lot of difficulties domestically, the country still has not given up containing and suppressing China.

On the one hand, it is because it wants to contain and suppress China to prevent it from being replaced by China in terms of its position and influence in the international arena, while on the other hand, it is actually because it wants to restore its control over the Asia-Pacific region.

However, the United States is now difficult to protect themselves, a lot of problems can not be solved, coupled with the money is small, in this regard, can only put the hope on Japan. Japan is a loyal ally of the United States partner, and Japan is China’s neighbor, so the attempt to let Japan to the front, and China against.

After all, the United States and Japan military integration, Japan increased defense costs, that is the United States increased in Japan, and even in the Asia-Pacific region. However, what the Trump administration did not expect was to be rejected by Japan, and also rejected very unkindly.

For a moment, it is also the United States to the whole frozen to. How even Japan are not obedient Really to say, can only blame the United States themselves. Obviously as a U.S. ally, Japan understands the United States, knows that the United States is trying to use themselves to hold China. So, Japan quit.

The reason is very simple, do not want to be cannon fodder, also do not want to go against China. Now Japan, simply do not have the strength to fight against China, even if their defense costs up to 3, or change nothing. If Japan rashly steps forward, it will only be beaten by the PLA.

Besides, now that China is developing so fast, instead of going against China, it would be better to cooperate with China, which would benefit Japan.
