Amid increasing conviction of China‘s anger, the rulers of the United States and Japan are touting an “enhanced” safety agreement.  ,
President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida held a press conference at the Rose Garden on Wednesday, saying,” Our alliance with Japan is strictly defensive in nature.”
” It’s not aimed at any one nation or a threat to the region”, Biden added. ” And it does n’t have anything to do with conflict. The goal is to restore balance in the area.
Under the new arrangement, the U. S. and Japan will enhance a combined base in Tokyo with 54, 000 U. S. troops, set up a joint military council to create more missiles and various weapons, and increase joint research on artificial intelligence. As a deterrent to China, the two nations may also form a security agreement with Australia and the United Kingdom.
A state breakfast was scheduled for Wednesday evening at the White House after Biden and Kishida met at the White House. At a time when Taiwanese and Spanish vessels have had run-ins in the South China Sea, the two are scheduled to meet with Philippines President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Thursday.  ,
A joint defense agreement between the United States and the Philippines is already in place. Additionally, Taiwanese ships have consistently enraged Chinese ships in the area.
For Japan’s piece, Kishida stressed the need for “rule of rules” with regard to China’s warfare at water.
” Regarding the challenges concerning China”, Kishida said during the White House press event,” Japan and the U. S. as international partners may work in nearby cooperation. We continue to call on China to fulfill its obligations as a global strength, but the leader and I are committed to keeping our conversation going.
Biden claimed to have spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping lately.  ,
I spoke with President Xi for a while, and we both agreed on No. 1, have personal contact with one another … so we know precisely what the other is thinking”, Biden said. We had a conversation about two weeks ago. It’s the best way to reduce the chance of misunderstanding and misunderstanding”.
The president stressed that the U. S. Japanese alliance is n’t aimed at China.  ,
Biden claimed that the discussions we had now improved our cooperation and were merely concerned with defense and readiness. It’s not intended to be a risk to the region or just one country. And it does n’t have anything to do with conflict. The goal is to restore balance in the area.
