Japan Seeks Reassurance About Security Alliance with US

Japan is unlikely to embrace China as a security partner or build its own nuclear weapons, despite growing alarm about the fate of its treaty alliance with the United States under the presidency of Donald Trump. That is the consensus of Japanese policy and security scholars in Washington, who are gathering more information about the nascent White House administration for their nervous fellow citizens.

While there is some discussion in Japan about going nuclear, there is also talk that perhaps it is better for Tokyo to seek a security rapprochement with Beijing. Both views, however, are in the minority, according to Japanese scholars.

Japan is more likely to first upgrade its missile defense systems before building its own nuclear weapons, said Kenji Jimbo, an associate professor of policy management at Keio University, speaking at a program Wednesday at the Stimson Center in the U.S. capital.
