Complex Trio of US-China-Japan Relations




The World Trade Organization is the world's biggest business cooperation organization, comprising more than 164 global economies. Something extraordinary happened in the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha 2001, as China became a member of the WTO after a series of negotiations. The whole world was of the opinion that China is a closed state, and this was not wrong since China was reluctant to partake in any local and international avenues that required cross-cultural and multi-linguistic business and professional communication. To mitigate the language barrier, English to Chinese translation services played a bridging role and enabled Western countries to know more about China. 


The dynamic leadership of China recognized the shifting priorities of global relations and trade. They have apprehended the grave repercussions of being globally inaccessible. Look at the irony of the fact that not long ago, China was considered and was an unexplored country, and the outside world knew very little about what it was like to live in China. But today, the whole world enjoys, communicates, and kills time on the Chinese social application TikTok. 

Chinese Journey to Global Leadership

The futuristic and consistent Chinese policies made it the most relevant global trade leader in the modern world. Meanwhile, the globalization of businesses became the name of the game, and China continues to move toward its industrial revolution and become the biggest global trade partner of the leading regional and global economies of Japan and the United States. Professional Japanese and Chinese translation services play a helpful role in facilitating these trade relations. 


It is a journey adorned with consistent national policy, uninterrupted political support, and the Chinese vision as a nation. In reality, China has traveled a lot in terms of being a close nation to the most amazing skyscrapers in Shanghai. Whether we talk about manufacturing, industrialization, tourism, even AAA games (Black Myth Wukong), international politics, economic stability, and you name it. China has emerged as an astounding leader in all these upfronts.

Ups and Downs of China-Japan Relations

Japan has found itself in the unique duel between China and the USA. There were times when China was the leading trade partner of Japan, but now the US is the biggest trade partner of Japan. English to Japanese translation services are facilitating this important communication exchange. 


As far as the current China-Japan relations are concerned, here are some recent developments:


  • Increasing Chinese appearance in regional matters is observed by Japan as a matter of concern. 
  • Some nationalist factors take China’s increased military spending as a threat to its national sovereignty.
  • Decades-old territorial disputes between China and Japan are also another pressing point between the two countries.
  • Disputes between Taiwan and mainland China are also a concerning point for Japan when it comes to taking sides.
  • China's intricate relations with North Korea are also a bone of contention between China and Japan.
  • National forces of Japan are also threatened by the increasing Chinese influence in regional matters.
  • Despite differences, the mutual exchange of knowledge between both countries is increasing.
  • Japanese companies are investing in China and hiring Chinese people.     
  • Chinese focus on regional and economic development is unprecedented.

Progression of Japan-US Relations 

Despite being the regional and international key powers, there have been no central bodies for overseeing the trilateral issues between China, Japan, and the US. Relations among these three powers influence international peace and regional stability. Although there have been informal talks in the side sessions of international forums, an absence of formal talks between Beijing, Washington, and Tokyo is felt in the global peacemaking bodies. Growing regional influence and clash of priorities are some of the factors that distance Japan from China and make it a strategic ally of the United States.


  • Economically, both China and Japan are on the progressive front. However, the US is more inclined toward the progression of Japan.
  • Think tanks have forecasted that things between the US and Japan could take a sharp turn when Japan would be able to secure a permanent seat at the UN Security Council.
  • A stable Japan is in favor of the United States to strengthen its influence in Northeast and East Asia.
  • Currently, the US and Japan are working together to limit technology exports to the Chinese chip industry.
  • The United States has implemented many restrictions for non-US companies and made it mandatory for them to acquire a license for selling specific items to China.
  • The United States often pressures Japan on matters with China, e.g. Nippon Steel's takeover of US Steel
  • Japan remains cautious amid the US elections and is trying to remain neutral.

Conclusion

The changing landscape of international politics and power tussle between global leaders put pressure on the Chinese government to counter the US initiatives with further restrictions. Japan has also stood on the verge of confusion between China and the US. However, the trade volume between China and Japan is still the second highest. All in all, the regional conflicts restrict the cooperation between the US and China and Japan is always reluctant to become a part of any international dispute and avoids taking sides. This creates a chance for bold US policies to influence Japanese decision-making to some extent.
