Used as an indispensable complementary military force on a global scale for the US-UK alliance, it was accused of being the "chief of the alliance" in the "Open Indo-Pacific" in the East Asia and West Pacific regions, and was used as a vanguard in China's containment strategy. Today's Japan has come to be known. Although it was canceled due to the corona, the new military agreement signed by the British Prime Minister and the Japanese Prime Minister who will visit Japan soon is a big event that will be a watershed for Japan after the war.
Nevertheless, on January 31, Kyodo News delivered the following Prime Minister's Office news.
"It was revealed on the 31st that British Prime Minister Johnson came to Japan in mid-February and canceled the schedule for meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The Japanese and British governments were coordinating, but the situation in Ukraine became tense. The British side has offered to cancel the party in response to Mr. Johnson's alleged participation in the party under the restrictions of the new corona virus countermeasures. Several government officials have revealed.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno explained at a press conference on the 31st, "There is no fact that (Mr. Johnson) is coordinating his visit to Japan." "Our country attaches great importance to our relationship with our global strategic partner, the United Kingdom," he said. He expressed his intention to continue to strengthen the relationship through various efforts. "
The coverage is too poor. What is a "Global Strategic Partner"? The concreteness is completely unclear to the general reader. Even though it is a difficult regular press conference article, this does not convey anything to the reader. Moreover, a reporter from the Political Affairs Department at the Prime Minister's Office said, "The Japanese government intends to continue to strengthen relations through various efforts." "Various efforts"? It's a very crude expression. It can be said that the news is only written concretely even if it is one of the core examples of efforts.
The number of newspaper subscriptions has dropped sharply. Kyodo News= Photo ='s revenue from affiliated newspapers has decreased year by year, and the number of regular employees has been significantly reduced from the previous 1900 system to 1300. Will it slow down if you are poor? It was an article that seemed to predict tomorrow of Kyodo News, which could lead to bankruptcy and dismantling.
We will supplement the article by posting the lead part and conclusion of the article "Britain moves to revive the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. Also to manage Japan behind the siege of China" published in November 2020.
"In the electronic version of the British Sunday Telegraph dated December 30, 2018, British Defense Minister Gavin Williamson (then) said in an interview with the newspaper," After leaving the European Union (EU), the UK will once again aim for global power and military power. "We will establish two new overseas bases in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans within two years, one in Brunei or Singapore." As of November 2020, new overseas bases in the Western Pacific region. Although the location selection has not been officially announced, the British military has been conducting military exercises based in Brunei since 2019, and five countries including Brunei among the 10 member countries of the European Union (ASEAN) will compete with China in the South China Sea. The United Kingdom has begun to be actively involved in the territorial dispute with the United States. We have entered into negotiations to conclude a "joint training facilitation agreement" that eliminates the need for examinations when entering the country. The two countries, which are already in a "quasi-alliance" relationship, are likely to revive the military alliance aimed at sealing China by 2023, the 100th anniversary of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance's expiration. On the other hand, however, the expansion of British troops into East Asia reveals the intention of Japan management and deterrence against Japan, which is the core of the US and UK's postwar policy toward Japan, "do not threaten Japan again."
