China’s military development has rapidly grown due to its stable economic growth since 1990s. Along with China’s double-digit growth in military spending, China’s navy, the People’s Liberalization Army Navy has been rapidly growing and been transformed its strategic guidelines with ambition to pursue China’s sea power. However, China’s sea power expansion has made Japan insecure and suspicious of China’s intentions of sea power expansion. Therefore, Japan and the U.S. set out to strengthen and broaden the U.S.-Japan alliance to balance China’s sea power expansion under framework of rebalance to Asia-Pacific.
The framework of study is mainly consisted of three sections. The first section is to analyze development of China’s sea power including the background of China’s awakening of sea power, the features of China’s naval strategy, China’s intentions of sea power expansion, its current situation of naval modernization and capabilities. The second section is to analyze how China’s sea power expansion caused Japan’s insecurity that made Japan adopt measures and balancing policy. In the third section, the U.S.-Japan alliance has strengthened as the U.S. and Japan committed to each other.
The findings of study show that China’s sea power expansion is necessary to maintain its national development and protect its national interests. However, China’s rapid growth in sea power has made Japan insecure. Japan responds to China with the balancing policy and the increase of military capabilities. Thus, the security dilemma between Japan and China has exacerbated. The U.S.-Japan alliance has been strengthened and adjusted under rebalance to Asia-Pacific. As a result, the alliance relation gradually becomes more symmetric, in the meanwhile, Japan becomes more proactive.
