Jędrzej Bielecki: Rzeczpospolita: “Japan does not trust Donald Trump” “Japan is little and little assured that the US will always come to its aid against Chinese pressure. Although American bases and fleets inactive dominate Yokosuka, Tokyo is becoming increasingly convinced that an alliance can weaken. Ukraine's experience teaches that Western support can be unstable, so Japan rapidly increases military spending and strengthens its own forces. The dispute over the island of Senkaku and the possible attack on Taiwan make a real threat, and in the background there are even considerations about atomic weapons."
