The trilateral relationship among China, Japan and the United States has generally been stable, and it explained the regional order in East Asia since the 1970s. Now, however, the fundamental conditions of the trilateral relationship are changing because of a shift in the balance of power, a loss of confidence on American diplomacy, US-China competition and the overwhelming importance of the Chinese economy. How will a change in the relationship between Japan, the United States and China affect the order of Asia? What does improving Japan-China relations mean? Is the Japan-U.S. relationship still strong?
