No/lack of, media report does not mean non thing happens/takes place. Who are you kidding? The American runs the biggest spy/hacking/etc agencies, doing all sorts of unsavory stuffs around the world.

Hypocrite. If sincere, and you want people to listen to you? Earn some credibility first. When America, which is thousand of miles away, increase their military presence here, say something. Then tell them they have too many bases around here. Then perhaps, tell them to send all their troops back to America. Etc, Then perhaps, you will not come across as a poppet.

Will not happen unless you regain your sovereignty.

Only one word can descript it, GENOCIDE. And the only country that support it, in UN general assembly vote, is COMPLICIT.

1st, regain your sovereignty. 2nd, "regain" cheap energy.

Stating the obvious. Non the less, needed to be said.

When HK was a colony, for more than 150 years, not a single vote was casted, for its leader. Every single one of its governor, more than 20, were appointed by the crown, no voting. Now, in whatever form, people at least get to cast, vote. So, don't kid anyone about democracy. Rioters.

American space force, lead/command and manned by American, another surrender of sovereignty. No other way to put it.

And co operation/etc between Russia and N Korea are a problem??? There you go......only your perspectives are allowed????

This/it, and all things concerning Japan, should be Japan's sovereign decision. Now, its only commercial or political decision?

Agree with "P......2", I also noticed the usual rhetoric from the same responders. Perhaps, covert racism? yellowphobia?

However, am afraid non thing may be achieved here. As long as Japan does not reclaim its sovereignty.

By and large, every country has their sovereign rights, among which, whom their friends are/to make. Or, are you suggesting only America has that rights?

Over to you, copy/paste response.

Its Japan sovereign issue. If this organization has the time/resources? Please look into real discriminations/human rights/etc issues, what the big powers did to the G South, eg Vietnam/Afica/S America/the greater Asia. Their legacy are still haunting these places.

Good start, return all looted/robbed/plundered/etc cultural/art/etc items. Instead of hiding behind purposed enacted legislations to avoid such responsibilities.

What we need in E Asia/Asia are trade/economics alliances. Not military alliances. Leave them in Europe/America, leave the wars/conflicts there too. Please don't let/don't make any country here become Ukraine, Nato expansion?? Before that person response, Taiwan is not a country, according to the UN.

You do not even need to do anything for ties to improve. Just do not parrot/echo/etc the American. Just be a sovereign state.

And you wondered why the UK is a shadow of its formal self?? Such a lunatic, politely, was elected leader.

Comparing the incidence last week, and this.

1st, it was contiguous water. Different from territorial water.

2nd, the Pla N was on its way to the Pacific Ocean, quickest/shortest way, it had a destination, not aimless trip.

3rd, this trip, is a trip with no destination, aimless, ie, provocation.

First, anything that involves USA and China, its politicized, by the American.

Second, they have been Americans, more than one, who have got off using the food contamination reason too.

And, at the end of the day? Its racism, whether you want to admit it or not/say it out aloud or not, in all context, sport or any arena.

As long as the aim is to boost ties/relationship/help each other/trade/etc, sincerely. It will be beneficial for both.

However, if, you have another agenda? Political?. It will be just a waste of resources. No fools left in the world/in geopolitics.

Don't kid yourself or others. Only offshore power?? Its everything. Easier job in the world. Japan foreign minister.

How about adopting a policy against the use of nuclear weapons???

The way Japanese foreign policies are being run? Every comes out as political.

Selective "strong opposition" ??? The Middle East is being "unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force or coercion" everyday. How about saying something? Its something the American hasn't say???

Its a criminal act, an assassination attempt, straight forward and simple, non thing to do with democracy, or, your definition of democracy. Or, are you saying that a similar act carried out in a Non democracy, your definition of it, is acceptable????

Just keep it/do it with sincere/honest/intrinsic desire to help Cambodia/Cambodians. Do not come with a political angle.

How many times, in recent years, i have heard this?? Different versions. So typical/sad state of affairs here, its all talk, end of the day, non thing will happen/change. Japanese, must all collective do something, about local politics.

Pawn. Discarded, after out lived usefulness. Just look back in history.

While you are at it, how about bringing up for discussion the Israeli/Palestinian issues too?? to get some credibility????

"seen as just an extension of the United States" and "overtly playing geopolitical cards" 

Its no longer seen. IT IS. Parroting/repeating/echoing/mirroring/etc what the American say/do in its foreign policies, what other conclusion?? Its not a stupid world.

"Let me be clear: The United States can be secure only if Asia is secure. That’s why the United States has long maintained our presence in this region."

In another word, fight the wars in Asia, not the homeland.

Asians can die, not Americans.
