Abstract

The China's rapid economic growth coupled with the weapon modernization has caused more concern in most countries, mainly in the Asia Pacific region. Even though the Chinese government has explained the reason for the development of their military and actively supports economic activities in other Pacific countries, it does not reduce the threats felt by certain countries in the region, particularly Japan. As a result, Japan had come to make a change in military strategy, supported by the United States power. This situation further aggravated the peace and security in the Asia Pacific region. Not only China and Japan relations will be even hotter, this situation also raises concerns of the countries in the region. The presence of the United States, unresolved political issues with Taiwan, the increasing tension of the seizure of the waters in the East China Sea and South China Sea, coupled with the suspicion related to the history of the past, making the action-reaction between China and Japan disturb stability in the region.
