The U.S. believes it is important for Sino-U.S. cooperation, and Japan should step back first.
A White House spokesperson on the 11th said at a press conference about the tense Sino-Japanese relations: "President Trump believes that the U.S. should maintain a very solid alliance with Japan while also maintaining good cooperative relations with China."
It means Japan should step back first, as China and the U.S. are busy discussing major issues, and Japan shouldn't meddle inappropriately (radar illumination is just radar illumination).
The White House spokesperson spoke on behalf of the president, while Trump himself remained silent, indicating that the White House has controlled the Sino-Japanese friction at the "spokesperson level," reducing its political significance, so that Sino-U.S. cooperation negotiations are the top priority.
Japan is now forcing the U.S. to take a stance and choose a side.
The U.S. isn't foolish; can the Japanese be trusted?
The U.S. won't forget that Japan once attacked Pearl Harbor in the Pacific Ocean.
This Japanese nation has no credibility.
Japan really thinks the U.S. is a fool. [face-palm][face-palm][face-palm]
It's just a radar illumination, what's the big deal!
