"Japan would Adopt a Solid Strategy Against China," from the PLA Analysis.

Japanese media reported, according to a Chinese military analysis, the new Japanese government would like to establish maritime alliances with the United States and other countries and will take a tougher stance against China.

According to Kyodo News, the Chinese military experts released an analysis report at an internal PLA meeting in late September. The report said that the Yoshihide Suga administration, which took office in mid-September, would like to establish maritime alliances with the United States and other countries in the Indo-Pacific region.

The report also stated the Chinese military believes that Yoshihide Suga would continue the policy of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The report said Suga government was currently exploring the possibility of possessing attack capabilities against enemy bases, which implied that Japan's long-standing "exclusively defensive" national defence policy would change. China should treat this as a "new issue" and make preparations. It does not rule out the possibility that China will accelerate the strengthening of its armaments.

Australian Prime Minister Visits Japan, Signing Security Pact to Counter China's Influence

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison arrived in Japan on Tuesday for a visit. Reuters reports that Morrison is expected to sign a historic military cooperation agreement with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to cooperate in countering the growing influence of China in the region.

Morrison arrived in Japan on Tuesday, and an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan said that the meeting would include an announcement, but did not reveal any details. Some security experts estimate that Morrison and Suga will sign the Reciprocal Access Agreement, establishing a legal framework to allow mutual military training visits and joint exercises.

Japan has been negotiating the agreement for over six years, and still needs to be ratified by the Japanese Parliament. It will be the first military cooperation related agreement since the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security in the 1960s, allowing the U.S. to base warship, fighter jets and set up military bases in and around Japan.
