That declaration served the larger goal of establishing a stable, albeit uneven, triangular relationship among the US, Japan, and China. Subsequent US administrations have upheld this approach, and opinion polls show that it retains broad acceptance in Japan – not least owing to close cooperation on disaster relief following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami of 2011.
这一宣言服务于一个更大的目标：在美国、日本和中国之间建立一个不完全平均但稳定三角关系。随后的几届美国政府都坚持这一方针，而民调显示这在日本人中间也有很高的接受度——不仅是因为2011年东北地震和海啸后的紧密救灾合作。
