It does not help that the US wants Japan to shoulder more of the burden of maintaining Asia’s security, a position that may make sense strategically and financially, but that betrays a lack of understanding of the political context. The US seems to underestimate regional concerns over Japan’s potential remilitarization.
日本希望日本承担更多的维持亚洲安全的责任，这无济于事，让日本扮演这一角色或许在战略和金融上有意义，但也暴露出缺少对政治环境的理解。美国似乎低估了东亚地区对日本军国主义死灰复燃的担忧。美国可能最终会发现，向日本发放外交委任状让自己站在了日本利益的对立面，其后果将是日本成为亚洲安全问题而不是解决办法的一部分。
