Recent developments in the dynamics of the security relations between People’s Republic of China and Japan: historic traumas, threat perceptions and strategic calculations

Summary/Abstract: China and Japan, in spite of their geographic proximity and cultural resemblance, share a history based on animosity and mistrust, as a consequence of Japanese aggressive policies towards China since the end of the 19th century. Now, Japan’s strong alliance with the USA and the decision of the government to change the defence laws to allow national support for USA and sending troops out of the country for collective defence when national survival is at stake increased China’s awareness of Japan becoming a possible threat and this could enhance the security dilemma mechanism, thus the risk of a military conflict between China and Japan. The USA and the smaller Asian states must play a moderating role and help maintain a stable security regional environment.
