On January 31, Japanese Prime Minister Mansuo Shoda held talks with visiting NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg and issued a joint statement saying that the two sides would strengthen cooperation in regional security, network, space and other fields. As for the approach of Japan and NATO to each other and strengthen relations, Japanese scholars believe that NATO wants to use Japan to further intervene in the Asia-Pacific situation, and Japan also attracts NATO and makes various excuses to strengthen its defense force. The approach of Japan and NATO will make the regional security situation more complex. Since last year, Japan and NATO have interacted frequently. Nagoyama Masuki, a professor at Tokai University in Japan, believes that the Japanese government's welcome of NATO's intervention in the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen its defense forces will bring new destabilizing factors to the Asia-Pacific region. Yongshan Maoshu, a professor at Donghai University, said: This will create conditions for NATO countries to take military actions in East Asia, such as sending warships and troops. The Self-Defense Force has conducted joint military exercises and training with NATO countries, and can integrate the command and combat system when necessary. It is not impossible for NATO to intervene in the affairs of East Asia, which is not good for the stability of East Asia and Europe, and is very worrying. Yoichi Komori, an honorary professor at Tokyo University, believes that the great transformation of Japan's defense policy is supported by NATO, especially the United States, which is inseparable from the Asia-Pacific strategy of the United States and NATO. Yoichi Komori, an honorary professor at the University of Tokyo, said that in the military confrontation in East Asia, let the Japanese Self-Defense Forces take advantage of themselves. This is the idea of NATO and the United States, and this is also a major shift in the policy of the United States. That is to say, in East Asia, it is very dangerous for Japan to let the Japanese Self-Defense Force exert its capabilities as much as possible, which is also a fundamental opposition to Article 9 of the Constitution. We as the people must not allow it. (Outlook New Era)
