USA influence over Japan

 After acquiring aid from U.S. and Germany, now Japan is promising investment to Pakistan in the energy sector. 

Don’t be surprised, Japan though being a good ally of India is not entirely independent when it comes to foreign policy. Why? 


1. Japan’s current constitution was written by U.S. generals 1946 while Japan was still under “Allied occupation” of United States & British Commonwealth following WW2. 

Many like Ex PM Shinzo have tried to revise it but failed.

2.U.S. influence is so strong that recently they were seen openly pushing Japan to eliminate a clause in their constitution which prevents them from invading other countries. Why?

Because they need Japan’s assistance in their unofficial war against China.

3. Also since WW2, U.S. has huge number permanent military bases in Japan. Currently there are 130 U.S. military bases with around 50,000 American troops. 130 military bases

4. U.S finances the ruling LDP ruling party. 

It was also revealed that CIA spend millions over generations to support the conservative party that dominates Japan to establish influence in Japan politics.


During NATO-Russia conflict in Ukraine, Japan imposed sanctions against Russia but unlike EU they did not hit selves in foot by closing oil & gas projects like Sakhalin with Russia. 

There are no permanent enemies or friends in geopolitics, only interests. 


U.S. has now started meddling with India via its assistants in Europe & Asia all because India is following independent policy wrt NATO Russia conflict & keeping its national interests first over American interest. India outgrew Pakistan long time back, old tricks won’t work.
