自民党安倍内阁的对华政策与中日关系

The Abe Cabinet’s China Policy and the China-Japanese Relationship

安倍上台以来,迎合日本国内民粹主义思潮,修正正确对待日本侵略历史的"村山讲话"和关于日本对强制慰安妇有责任的"河野讲话";强化日美同盟的军事职能、安全机制;配合美国亚太"再平衡"战略,扩充军备;积极拉拢与日本有共同价值观的国家和对日本有战略意义的亚太国家,营造"自由与繁荣之弧",等等,表明安倍对华采取先包围施压、后改善获利的外交政策。

After taking up the post of Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe pandered to the populist sentiment in Japan. He wanted to amend the Murayama statement which took a correct attitude to the aggressive history of Japan, and the Kono statement which held Japanese militarists accountable for coercing the comfort women in WWII. He strengthened the Japan-U.S. alliance in its military functions and security mechanism. He stepped up armament expansion in line with the U.S. rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific. He tried hard to woo and buy over those countries that share common values with Japan and those countries that are strategic importance to Japan in the Asia-Pacific, so as to build an 'arc of freedom and prosperity'. All these showed that Mr. Abe adopts a policy that encircle and put pressure on China first and then reap economic benefits by improving relations with China later.
