Across the region, the United States and its allies are deepening military cooperation and strategizing over an effective response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory, flies fighter jets toward Taiwan on a regular basis in an effort to warn and intimidate the island\u2019s air force. Last month, Chinese fighter jets, anti-submarine aircraft and combat ships conducted joint assault drills near Taiwan with China saying the exercise was necessary to safeguard its sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced a meeting next week with key regional players that form the so-called \u201cQuad\u201d \u2014 India, Australia and Japan together with the U.S. \u2014 for in-person talks the White House said are meant to show the administration\u2019s commitment to \u201cpromoting a free and open Indo-Pacific.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian slammed the U.S. for \u201cforming exclusive cliques\u201d after the meeting was announced and countered that China was a \u201cfirm defender of regional peace and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChina\u2019s development is a growing force for peace in the world and a boon to the prosperity and development of the region,\u201d he said. \u201cThe countries concerned should abandon the outdated zero-sum mentality and narrow-minded geopolitical thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan, a U.S. ally that hosts the U.S. Navy\u2019s 7th Fleet, has long moved cautiously with regard to China, an important trading partner. But it has recently become less reserved in the face of Beijing\u2019s growing military activity and broad territorial claims in the western Pacific, including to a group of islands near Taiwan that Japan controls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Masahisa Sato, a senior lawmaker of the governing Liberal Democratic Party and an expert on defense, told a recent forum on security in Asia that right now the U.S.-Japan alliance is focused largely on a response to a possible conflict stemming from the Korean Peninsula, and it needs to be broadened to consider what to do if there is a Chinese attack on Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted that the Sakishima island group, which includes some of Okinawa\u2019s remote islands, \u201cis right next to Taiwan and is part of a same theater.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe should consider a Taiwan contingency as nearly equal to a Japan contingency,\u201d Sato said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three candidates running on Sept. 29 to become Japan\u2019s new leader are proposing hawkish policies toward China, though still acknowledging its importance as a trading partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taro Kono, the minister in charge of vaccinations who is seen as a front runner, has said he will seek to establish a regional framework that adds to Japan\u2019s alliance with the United States in countering China\u2019s growing military activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a joint statement after they met in April, outgoing Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Biden said they \u201crecognize the importance of deterrence to maintain peace and stability in the region\u201d and added that they \u201coppose any unilateral attempts to change the status quo in the East China Sea\u201d and reiterated their \u201cobjections to China\u2019s unlawful maritime claims and activities in the South China Sea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underscoring its concerns, Japan\u2019s Defense Ministry added a new section on Taiwan in its annual report released in July, saying the situation requires a \u201csense of crisis.\u201d It says China\u2019s military capability has become far greater than that of Taiwan and that Japan must pay attention to further increases on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suga announced he will not run in the Sept. 29 Liberal Democratic Party leadership vote, which chooses a new party leader who will become Japan\u2019s next prime minister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taiwan has stepped up purchases from the U.S. of weapons including missiles and aircraft over the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taiwan\u2019s defense ministry submitted a budget of $16.8 billion for the next year, a modest increase from last year\u2019s $16.2 billion. Some of the funds would purchase 66 F-16V fighter jets, according to the semiofficial Central News Agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many believe, however, that despite the bellicose rhetoric and drills like the Han Guang exercise on Wednesday, as well as the Chinese posturing, that open conflict is not on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a type of gray zone tactic \u2014 military intimidation,\u201d said Ou Xifu, a researcher at the Institute for National Defense and Security Research in Taiwan. \u201cThis shouldn\u2019t lead to war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Wu reported from Taipei and Yamaguchi from Tokyo.
