Japan appears ready to become a more demanding US ally in the wake of the Democratic Party of Japan’s historic election win, analysts in Washington and Beijing contend.
The prospect of the shift in power in Tokyo inspires a measure of wariness in both foreign capitals.
But while the US hopes, in the words of the official state department response to the DPJ win, to “work with the new government [to] further cement this indispensable alliance”, the result has been met with cautious optimism in Beijing. Chinese officials hope to see greater regional engagement from the world’s second-largest economy and less of a focus on closer US-Japanese ties.
“My sense is that Japan will be more of a demanding ally in the future,” said Dennis Wilder, former President George W. Bush’s top Asia adviser.
“They will want what they have called equality in the relationship. This will be unusual. The US has been able to take Japan for granted in many ways – Japan has been an easy ally. Now in the face of a rising China, Japan will look for more from the US.”
He predicts the new government will look for regular formal high-level consultations with Washington – similar to the Strategic and Economic Dialogue the US holds with China – and that satisfying US requests on issues such as aid to Afghanistan may be linked to such co-operation.
“The cold war LDP approach to the US may be ending here,” he said, referring to the priority the former governing party gave to addressing Washington’s concerns.
That may make it harder to secure commitments such as a promise to pay the salaries of the Afghan police force for six months.
Steve Clemons at the New America Foundation, a Washington-based think tank, argued that the system partly set up under the US’s postwar occupation of Japan was at an end.
“In my view, Japan is on the verge of doing what [former Chancellor] Gerhard Schröder did in Germany,” he said. “Germany re-achieved its own sovereignty in the eyes of its own people, it was not just a satellite of the US in the region.”
US analysts agree that other likely points of contention include the US base on Okinawa – to which the DPJ has long objected – and policy on North Korea’s nuclear programme.
Beijing is also wary of the uncertainties accompanying the transition to an inexperienced party but is likely to welcome the LDP’s decline. “In Beijing’s eyes, the collapse of the LDP is a pretty positive development,” said Russell Moses, a Beijing-based analyst of Chinese politics.
“The change of government in Japan is being presented domestically in China as a repudiation of policies Beijing didn’t like, including closer US-Japanese ties and a more robust defence posture.”
China is also pleased with DPJ promises that its senior leaders will not visit the Yasukuni shrine, which honours Japan’s war dead. That policy has “removed a potential bombshell from the Sino-Japanese relationship,” said Zhou Yongsheng of the China Foreign Affairs University.
