The Japanese mainstream media has been tracing and analyzing China’s “the Belt and Road” initiative since the second half of 2014. Their reports argued that this strategy is an embodiment of Chinese leadership’s intent to transform China into a superpower under the slogan of “the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” since Xi Jinping’s inauguration. They thought that China promotes this strategy partly for the purpose of checking or even counterbalancing the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region. On one hand，the Abe Cabinet has been analyzing China’s external strategic intents from the perspective of how to convert Japan into a political and military power and thus establish a new identity and value that can be commonly accepted by the Japanese. On the other hand，ever since the founding of the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank（AIIB）and the Silk Road Fund，the attitudes and stands of various Japanese social and interest groups have been gradually diverging from those of the Abe Administration on the problem of whether to cooperate with China in the field of Asian infrastructure investments. However，the public opinions can only pose a limited influence over the Japanese government. The Abe administration managed to manipulate the situations in the end，and came up with tit-for-tat policies towards China’s initiative of “The Belt and Road” initiative.
