There are many problems between Japan and the Unites States. However, Japan shouldn’t rethink relationship with the United States.
First, the US is imperative to protect Japanese territory from other countries. These days, Chinese vessels frequently appear around Senkaku Island. Japan should protect Senkaku Island with the US troops. If the US troops withdraw from Japan, China will surely invade Senkaku Island. The US troops have an essential role in protecting our territory. Several years ago, China invaded some islands in Philippine after the US troops withdrew from Philippine. If the US troops had continued to stay there, Philippine wouldn’t have lost their precious islands.
Second, Japan should collaborate with the US to address the abduction issue between Japan and North Korea. North Korea doesn’t always keep promises and therefore it’s hard for Japan to deal with the issue by itself. Now, the US president Donald Trump has a keen interest in the kidnapping problem. Accordingly, now is the best time to address the problem with the US.
Third, in this global world, it is crucial to maintain close relationship with as many countries as possible. Of course, the US isn’t an exception. It is indispensable to maintain not only political but also economic ties with other countries.
In conclusion, The US is vital to make Japan stable. Given the situation Japan is facing now, Japan has no other choice but to maintain the close relationship with the US.
