Japan-US Alliance is the most important ?



Today, a meeting between Japanese minister of foreign affairs and Hillary Clinton was held in Hawaii. There again, the importance of the alliance of 2 countries was emphasized.

Importance of the alliance is always on the agenda when some troubles happen between 2 countries.

But many Japanese often say Japan is a kind of colony of the USA.  Japan is not the superpower of the world. It’s natural that Japan is influenced by the big power no matter if it’s the USA or any other countries.

Around Japan, there are China and Russia.  And beyond the pacific ocean, the USA is situated.  So some point out that Japan needs to communicate more with China and Russia, rather than obeying with the USA all the time.

Japan had already been under the control of the USA when we first knew the democracy in Japan because the democracy of Japan was introduced by the USA.

Maybe the balance of the alliance is not stabled because the new leading party of Japan likes to talk with more countries than the USA.  I don’t always like all the policy made by the new leading party of Japan, but as far as nation selected it by voting, we need to look at the policy carefully.

The importance of 2 countries alliance was always emphasizedsince when the previous leading party was ruling Japan. But the previous party caused a tremendous amount of political corruption.

Either way, we need to go with the new leading party.
