后疫情时期的国际关系与日本的选择

The Relationship Between the East and the West in the Post-COVID-19 Era and the Dilemma of Japan's Choice

文章从东西方关系的视角,对后疫情时期中美关系背景下日本的外交选择问题进行了分析。后疫情时期的中美关系,越来越呈现东西方对立关系的特点。西方一向对东方有强烈的优越感,甚至经常表现为敌视态度,但是,在此次疫情中,西方表现不尽人意,西方核心国家美国更是治理无效,在疫情期间,国家出现混乱。美国为了转移国内危机,开始污名化中国,导致中美关系日趋恶化。在中美关系恶化的背景下,日本受到来自美国的压力,美国要求日本选边站队,中日关系面临考验。日本面临的选择,实质是在东西方之间进行的选择,意味着日本外交正处于历史的十字路口,何去何从值得关注。

This paper analyzes Japan's diplomatic choice in the context of post-COVID-19 Sino-US relations from the perspective of East and West relations.Post-epidemic Sino-US relations have increasingly shown the characteristics of the antagonistic relationship between the East and the West.The West has always had a strong sense of superiority over the East,and even often showed a hostile attitude.However,in this epidemic,the West did not perform well.The United States,the leading western country,is ineffective in governance,and was in chaos.To divert domestic discontent,the U.S.began to stigmatize China,leading to the deterioration of Sino-US relations.Under the background of the deterioration of Sino US relations,Japan is under pressure from the United States to take sides,and Sino-Japanese relations are facing a test.Japan's choice is essentially the choice between the East and the West,and it means that Japan's diplomacy is at a crossroad in history.What choice Japan will make deserves attention.
