摘要随着中国积累更多的权力，日本经常被忽视，因为物质上的差异和关于日本是一个被动状态的叙述，日本有能力影响中国的继续发展轨迹。然而，北京的战略规划不能忽视东京，因为日本有能力影响该地区的安全环境。感觉到自己的存在和影响力变得相对较小，东京越来越积极地努力扩大其战略空间，并以有利于其利益的方式塑造地区环境。回顾日本自1972年以来对中国的态度，可以发现它已经从传统的接触政策转向首先是软对冲，然后是更强硬的对冲，这种做法一直持续到今天。今天的伙伴关系和能力的组合使日本能够使中国的行动自由复杂化，并阻碍其持续崛起。
Abstract As China accumulates more power, Japan is often overlooked as being capable of affecting China’s continued trajectory because of material differences and narratives of Japan being a reactive state. Yet, Beijing’s strategic planning cannot ignore Tokyo because Japan has the ability to affect the region’s security environment. Feeling its presence and influence becoming relatively smaller, Tokyo has been increasingly proactive in its effort to expand its strategic space and shape the regional environment in ways conducive to its interests. A review of Japan’s approach to China since 1972 reveals that it has shifted away from its traditional engagement policy toward first a soft hedge, followed by a harder hedge that continues to this day. Today’s mix of partnerships and capabilities enable Japan to complicate China’s freedom of action and frustrate its continued rise.
