中国国际战略评论(2016)

　　《中国国际战略评论（2016）》：　　Although there is a perception in China that I was a hardliner towards China， however， as I have just mentioned， I have long been concerned about China， and I am proud to have been committed to strengthening relations between China and Japan， which I will talk about later in my speech. I think in the future， China and Japan should frankly exchange views on issues between the two countries， and perseverejin solving these issues. In the process， they should not only strengthen bilateral relations， but work together to promote stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region depending on the circumstances.　　My topic today is "Asia-Pacific Security and the Respective Roles ofjapan and China".　　It has been more than 70 years since the end of World War II. After experiencing two great wars， the world created a variety of orders to avoid renewed hostilities， such as the United Nations （UN）， the International Monetary Fund （IMF）， the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade （GATT）， which later evolved into the World Trade Organization （WTO）， and other organizations. In other words， by developing common rules and urgmg countries to abide by these rules， the world wanted to prevent conflict and promote peaceful resolution of issues between countries， so that countries can achieve coexistence and common prosperity. The world has put a lot of effort into this.　　However， what concerns me is that， recently， there are some trends of trying to change the world order established after World War II by force： The Islamic State （IS） denied territorial allocations defined by the Sykes-Picot Agreement after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire， and tried to reestablish an Islamic State； Russia is not only controlling the Crimean Peninsula， but still planning to split eastern Ukraine and place it under Russia's influence. These are notable cases in the trends. Russia is a very important neighbor of Japan. I also serve as Vice President of Japan-Russia Friendship Parliamentarians' Union in Japan's National Diet， and am committed to promoting the development of Japan-Russia relations. On the issue of Crimea， taking its history into account，it is not unable to understand Russia's mind， but I still hold that Russia should adopt a procedure that can be recognized by the international community to solve the issue.　　In addition， terrorist organizations， which are non-state actors， are now spreading all over the world， and carrying out sabotage activities m various countries. Disregarding the order defined by the international commuruty， they have posed a threat to sovereign states. Such acts of violence Cannot be tolerated.　　Because of this， we need a world order jointly developed by countries and based on the rule of law， and maintaining the order is our top priority. Of course， there are some limitations in the postwar order. It has not always been working all the time. For example， during the Cold War， the US and the Soviet Union vetoed against each other on various issues， resulting in difficulty in reaching agreements for the UN Security Council. Even todajy， agreements are hard to reach at times. Nevertheless， the world order established after two world wars to protect and develop the international community still plays a critical role today. Therefore， we have to say that as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and the world's second-largest economy， China bears great responsibilities.　　The following content may sound harsh for all of you from China. But I hope you can understand that I make the speech with expectation and respect only because i am facing China， a country that has made extraordinary achievements and grown from a strong　　developing country into a country with world influence.　　Accompanied by the remarkable development， China's diplomacy has also undergone a rapid change in recent years. However， many countries are not yet able to understand "thye true intention of China". What is China's diplomatic goal? If they have to choose between the two alternatives， many countries are not sure whether C ina is a "supporter" or a "challenger" for the world order built after two world wars.　　……
