They write: \u201cNATO, which created division in Europe and waged wars around the world, is trying to apply the tricks of `bloc politics\u2019 and `confrontation between camps\u2019 to the Asia-Pacific region. For a long time, the UK has propagated on several occasions `the globalization of NATO\u2019 and the `need to preempt threats in the Indo-Pacific\u2019 and to ensure the island of Taiwan `is able to defend itself.\u2019 Within the Asia-Pacific, Japan is abnormally active in catering to such a scheme. It seems Tokyo wants to be the `traitorous guide\u2019 for NATO&#8217;s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The editorial warns that Japan is planning to dump its pacifist constitution and \u201cresurrect its militarism.\u201d Noting that Kishida visited Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand before travelling to Europe, the editorial says his efforts to get these ASEAN nations to join in bashing Russia and China did not succeed: \u201cAsian countries that received Japanese officials have kept vigilant toward Tokyo&#8217;s remarks and been reluctant to echo Japan. Not until in the UK, which wants to recover its glory, has Kishida felt some `warmth of a friend.\u2019 This will easily make people recall the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in the 20th century.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0Asia has remained peaceful in recent decades, they add, because Asian nations \u201chave been seeking common ground while putting aside differences. With vision beyond ideological and geopolitical divergence, Asian countries have engaged in pragmatic cooperation in the globalization era. These made Asia the most vital and dynamic region in the world and made `Asian century\u2019 a lasting discussion topic in the international strategic sphere.\u201d It is now clear that the western security model has failed, they add, and bringing that failed model to Asia has the \u201cintent to undermine regional peace and stability\u2026. Asian countries must remain on high alert. History over and over again showed that a country&#8217;s security cannot be based on other countries&#8217; insecurity\u2026..\u00a0 The NATO military bloc is poison, not an antidote, to the security anxieties and tensions in the region\u2026. Vigilance against and rejection of the `NATO expansion into Asia-Pacific\u2019 should become the strong consensus and collective consciousness of all countries in the region.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China: Failed Bloc Policy in Europe Not Needed In Asia &#8212; May 7, 2022 (EIRNS)&#8211;Global Times lead editorial today expressed the outrage in China at the new military cooperation between Japan and the UK, following the Thursday signing of a Reciprocal Access Agreement (RAA) between Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Fumio Kishida in London.
