For Japan, its priorities are to underscore economic cooperation, to promote the connectivity of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa through free trade and infrastructure construction, and to a highlight rule-based order and respect for international law. Together with the US, it also wants to influence and interfere in the Korean Peninsula and the South China Sea. It's pretty obvious that the Japanese also want to contain China. After the Trump administration implemented the “America First” policy, however, discord in US-Japan relations began to grow. At the beginning of this year, Japan moderated its anti-China policies and proposed promoting the Indo-Pacific strategy along with China's Belt and Road Initiative as the new foundation for China-Japan cooperation.
澳大利亚位于印度洋和太平洋两大洋之间,从吉拉德以来历届澳政府都认同“印太”概念,并将其上升到战略高度的层面,写入从2013年以来的所有国防和外交白皮书中。从一定意义上说,澳大利亚外交政策就是澳方的“印太战略”,它带有强烈的两面性:一面“致力于同中国发展强大和建设性的关系”,一面又渲染中国崛起带来的挑战,呼吁美国维持在印太地区的存在。在中美之间搞平衡是澳大利亚外交的最大公约数。对于美国“印太战略”,澳方的做法是在拥抱的同时,又强调“解决全球性挑战离不开中国作用”。搞坏对华关系并不符合澳大利亚的根本利益,澳方配合美国“印太战略”的行动空间有限。
