Title ProperJapan Card in the United States rapprochement with China, 1969-1972
LanguageENG
AuthorKomine, Yukinori
Publication2009.
Summary / Abstract (Note)United States rapprochement with China should be re-examined by taking into consideration the American negotiating approach towards Beijing regarding the role of Japan, the United States' major Asian ally and China's long-term rival in East Asia. Whilst announcing the Nixon Doctrine, which increased pressure on Japan to strengthen its defense and regional responsibilities, Nixon and Kissinger used the so-called "Japan Card," Japan's possible military resurgence and China's long-term fear of it, as a tacit negotiating tool to justify to Chinese leaders the continued United States military presence in East Asia. This article examines the impact of the United States rapprochement with China on the American negotiating process with Chinese leaders for the continuation of the United States-Japan Security Treaty and to what extent it changed China's policy toward American relations with Japan.
