对日本从“经济大国”走向“政治大国”问题的探讨

A DISCUSSION OF THE PROBLEM OF JAPAN'S MOVE FROM AN“ECONOMIC POWER”TOWARDS A“POLITICAL POWER”

80年代以来,日本领导层不满足于“经济大国”的现状,努力谋求成为“政治大国”,其具体目标:与西欧大国平起平坐,在亚太地区起主导作用,进而最终成为“世界政治大国”。主要手段是,以加强经济活动为主,辅之以“创造性外交”。日本国内出现的一些倾向和问题,已引起国际社会,特别是受日本军国主义侵略之害的国家和人民的强烈不满和严重警惕。

Since the beginningof 1980's,Japan's leading stratum,not satisfied with its being just an“eco-nomic power”,has been trying hard to make Japan a“political power”Their concrete aims are:to acquire a position equal to Western Europeanpowers,to play the leading role in the Asian-Pacific Region and eventuallyto become a“global political power”.The main means they use is the strengt-hening of economic activities with“creative diplomacy”as a supplementary.Certain tendencies and problems that are emerging within Japan have arousedstrong resentment and serious vigilance in the international community,especially among the countries and peoples that suffered from the aggression byJapanese militarism.
