Abstract
After a period of decline, security ties between the U.S. and Japan have been revitalized by both the countries in response to the threats of terrorism and a nuclear North Korea. The invigorated alliance has also taken significant steps to deal with the rise of China as a military power, including the cooperation of security policies through revised guidelines 1997, which were intended to serve as a comprehensive transformation of the alliance, missile defence cooperation, and U.S. support of Tokyo's efforts to assert its interests in the Asia-Pacific region. China is a polity with a long history of wrong suffered at the hands of imperial powers, and thus it is naturally sensitive on issues related to its sovereignty. In terms of geopolitical realities, this paper will assess the manner in which China plans to integrates itself into the international system, or fails to do so, as it is one of the defining issues of international relations for the first quarter of the 21st century.
