For those Asian countries that recall Japan’s moderate and sensible advancement of regional policies since the 1960’s, there is a growing expectation that Japan should re-think its stance. At a time of regional uncertainty about Chinese policies – including the looming prospect of China’s first aircraft carrier – Japan’s participation in the evolving Asian security framework is fundamental to stability.
那些还能回忆起日本自1960年代以来适度而明智的地区政策推进的亚洲国家都越来越希望日本能重新考虑其立场。在中国的区域政策还不明朗的时期—包括中国的第一艘航空母舰投入现役的前景—日本参与到演进中的亚洲安全框架中来，对于地区的稳定具有根本性的意义。日本可以袖手旁观的时代已经一去不返了。
