In September of this year, the revisions to the US-Japan Defense Cooperation Guidelines were made public in New York. They declared that "regional" concerns of Japan would be covered under the US-Japan Security Treaty. But, the US and Japan have never specifically included either the Korean Peninsula nor the Taiwan Strait in this definition. So is the Taiwan Strait excluded from the Western Pacific security system?
今年九月，「美日防衛合作指導綱領」修訂期末報告在紐約公佈，將日本「周邊有事」也納入美國及日本防衛合作的範疇，報告中並未將台灣海峽或朝鮮半島明確列入；那麼台海安全在西太平洋安全體系中是否被排除了？
