Asia-Pacific strategy is a critical part of Japan's international strategy. The overall issue of Japan's Asia-Pacific strategy is to deal with the changing international structure after the global financial crisis, and maintain the current international system and its rules. The core aims include dealing with China's rise, maintaining Japan's political status, economic prosperity and national security. The means to achieve such aims include combining political, economic and security resources, relying on Itdoenrggotfs, taking full use of the US-Japan alliance, enhancing bilateral and multilateral regional cooperation. Japan's Asia-Pacific strategy coordinates with the US strategic adjustment to Asia-Pacific, which brings uncertainty into the regional situation. <<
