从海权博弈角度看日本对朝贡体制的挑战

Japan's Challenge against Tribute System from the Perspective of Maritime Power Game

中日隔海相望,东海成了两国交流的平台,同时海权博弈也不可避免。从海权三要素即海上贸易、海上力量和海外殖民地视角看,日本历史上,通过"东海丝绸之路"的贸易获得经济利益,用海上力量向以中国为中心的朝贡体系发起进攻和对抗,最后通过扩张霸占琉球、台湾和朝鲜,导致以中国为中心的东亚朝贡体系解体。中日关系的历史呈现出交流与对抗交织的特点,日本一方面依赖以中国为中心的东亚国际体系,同时也在大国意识的作用下对这个体系发起挑战并导致其最后解体。

China and Japan are close neighbors across the sea, with the East China Sea as a stage for both cultural exchanges and maritime power game. From the perspective of maritime power including the driving factors of marine trading, maritime military force and the overseas colonies, Japan had obtained great economic profit from trading across the maritime Silk Road in the East China sea and challenged China＇s Tribute system with its maritime military power in the history, In the 19th century, Japan occupied Ryukyu islands and then invaded Taiwan and Korean peninsula, resulting in the collapses of the Tribute system. The Sino - Japanese relations during that period had showed the characteristic of interaction and confrontation. On one hand, Japan had dependency on the Tribute system in East Asia, and on the other hand, Driven by the ambition for a great power, Japan presented a strongest challenge to the system and eventually caused its disintegration.
