Sino-Japanese relations are particularly fraught, with two decades of economic stagnation in Japan and rapid growth in China fueling nationalist overreaction on both sides. Having become accustomed to outsourcing its security to the US, and despite having the world’s third-largest economy, Japan neglected to develop its own constructive diplomatic vision.
中日关系尤其令人担心，日本二十年的经济停滞和中国二十年的快速增长加剧了双方民族主义热情高企。日本早已习惯将安全外包给美国，尽管其经济规模位居世界第三，但仍没有发展出其自身的建设性外交愿景。安倍披着地区合作外衣的修宪是否标志着日本有了新外教愿景还有待观察。
