The United States said Wednesday that attacks in space would invoke its defense treaty with Japan and announced the deployment of a more agile Marine unit on its ally’s soil as alarm grows over China.
WASHINGTON, United States —
As China makes rapid advances in satellites, the United States and Japan warned in their statement that “attacks to, from or within space present a clear challenge to the security of the alliance” that could invoke Article Five of their mutual defense treaty, which considers an attack on one an attack on both.
“I think this is going to contribute in a major way in our effort to help defend Japan and also promote a free and open Indo-Pacific,” Austin said, using the US turn of phrase for an Asia without Chinese dominance. The United States and Japan condemned China’s “dangerous and provocative” military activities and called for “peace and stability” in the Taiwan Strait.“I won’t second-guess Mr. Xi but what I will tell you, what we are seeing recently is some very provocative behavior on the part of China’s forces,” Austin said.
Wang Wenbin, spokesman for China’s foreign ministry, told a regular press briefing on Thursday: “In conducting bilateral military cooperation, the United States and Japan should ensure that it does not harm the interests of a third party or regional peace and stability.”Okinawa, under US control until 1972, remains home to more than half of the 50,000 US troops in Japan and many have long seethed with resentment at the burden of the bases including the noise and occasional crimes by US troops.
