Blockbuster official announcement: the rocket force intercontinental missile successfully flew to the Pacific Ocean. This one has two purposes!
China's rise and Japan's concerns – the strategic rivalry behind ICBM tests
[Introduction]
On September 25, during a conventional military exercise, China's rocket force successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile and landed accurately into the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean. The successful test shot attracted global attention and aroused strong concern in Japan. What exactly does this missile test mean? What kind of strategic competition is hidden behind it? Let's take a look.
[Update on the situation]
The test launch of an intercontinental missile by the Chinese Rocket Force was undoubtedly a technological success. The missile's accurate hit on the target demonstrates China's advanced missile technology and strong national defense strength. At the same time, the test launch also aroused widespread concern in the international community, especially Japan.
Senior Japan cabinet officials were quick to speak out, expressing concern about China's military movements and vowing to step up intelligence gathering to ensure national security. This reaction has undoubtedly deepened tensions between China and Japan.
It is worth noting that China had notified the relevant countries in advance in accordance with international practice before this action, but Japan was not listed. This may have led to Japan's overly violent reaction and the misunderstanding and panic caused by information asymmetry.
[Positions and interests of all parties]
For China, this missile test launch is not only a demonstration of national defense strength, but also a manifestation of its firm will to safeguard national security and promote regional peace and stability. China has always adhered to the concept of "peaceful development" and reaffirmed its nuclear strategic commitment to not being the first to use nuclear weapons and not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries.
But for Japan, the test launch has raised deep historical shadows and security anxieties. As a defeated country in World War II and a country that suffered a nuclear attack, Japan is particularly sensitive to the build-up of military power. In addition, the two sides often have antagonism in regional affairs, which makes Sino-Japanese relations inevitably fall into a tense predicament.
[Root Cause]
The root cause of this antagonism between China and Japan is not only historical and cultural, but also driven by geopolitical and economic interests.
On the one hand, the historical entanglement of relations between the two countries and the painful memory of Japan's nuclear attack make Japan's response to China's military build-up particularly sensitive. On the other hand, China's growing economic power and regional influence have also exacerbated Japan's position anxiety in the Asia-Pacific region.
In addition, the long-standing differences between China and Japan over territorial disputes, trade frictions and other issues have also intensified their antagonism. The interweaving of such multiple factors has created the current tense situation in Sino-Japanese relations.
[Impact & Future Directions]
The successful test launch of China's intercontinental missile not only demonstrated its military and technological strength, but also reflected its responsibilities as a major power. This success will undoubtedly exacerbate Japan's security concerns and may lead to further military deployment and intelligence gathering, which will further deteriorate Sino-Japanese relations.
At the same time, China also calls on Japan to view its development with an open and inclusive mind, and jointly maintain regional peace and stability through dialogue and cooperation. Only when the two sides resolve the historical gap and follow the principles of mutual respect and mutual benefit can China-Japan relations turn around and seek long-term stability.
[Conclusion]
The successful test launch of China's intercontinental missile reflects the complexity of the strategic game between major powers. It is not only a contest of military technology, but also a concentrated embodiment of the pattern of interests, historical origins, and cultural differences. How to resolve the deep-rooted contradictions between China and Japan and pursue common development while safeguarding their respective interests is a major test facing the two countries. Let's wait and see, and look forward to the two sides working together to create a new chapter in China-Japan relations.
