试论原敬对美协调外交思想的原点

A Discussion on Critical Point of Hara Takashi to diplomacy of coordinating with US

原敬强调日本外交之关键在于以本国利权为本 ,对中国友善之时不忘日本国的利益。日本作为后进的资本主义国家 ,其实力更逊于各国 ,远不能和欧洲列强平起平坐 ,日本不仅要审时度势 ,认清中国的国际形势 ,而且更需要协调与欧洲列强在中国的利益关系 ,这样才能确保和扩张日本在中国最大的殖民利益。

Hara Takashi emphasized that the critical point for Japanese diplomacy lay in protecting the Japanese interests while posing a friendly attitude toward China. As a later-developed capitalist country, Japan was weak than other Western imperialist countries, and had to scrutinize the situation in China and coordinate with other imperialist countries so as to ensure and expand the Japan's share of the colonial rights in China.
