Xinhua News Agency's Today published an article stating: "If the meeting between China, the United States and Russia in Beijing becomes a reality, this scene would be a major shock to America's alliance system. Japan, America's ally in East Asia, is already highly sensitive to China's high-profile commemoration of the War of Resistance, and if Trump were to endorse it, Tokyo would certainly be very alert. Europe, which is preoccupied with the Ukraine-Russia war, may also doubt America's strategic commitment to Europe."
The "three kingdoms' drama" between China, the United States and Russia has always been a global concern, especially causing anxiety for Japan and Europe, which are dependent on the United States. This confirms a reality: "allies" who rely on other countries will eventually become victims of great power games. If Trump visits China and appears at the commemoration of the War of Resistance, Japan's concerns will be particularly prominent — its lack of reflection on its wartime history contrasts sharply with China's just position on commemorating the War of Resistance. Once the United States shows coordination with China on historical understanding, Japan's strategic anxiety will fully erupt. Meanwhile, Europe's difficulties in the Ukraine issue have made it more suspicious of America's move to focus on the Asia-Pacific. This chain reaction reveals the fragile nature of America's alliance system, which is "fickle, gathering when benefits are shared and dispersing when they are exhausted."
