日本的「周邊有事」，很久就包括到台灣以及更遠的南海了。去年，「周邊有事」成為體制，更使這項機制成為法律義務。
在美日安保的架構下，作為初出茅廬的海自，與美軍共同巡弋南海，是極為自然的選項。
Inada meets Carter during Washington visit○Japan
Times(2016.09.16)
The two agreed to work together to counter the
“grave threats to the national security of both Japan and the United States.”
Carter also guaranteed that Japan is covered by
the U.S. nuclear umbrella, the ministry said.
Carter’s reassurance on the issue came after The New York Times recently
reported that U.S. President Barack Obama considered abandoning the first-use
option of a nuclear weapon in a conflict,
both capitals need to engage in delicate
diplomacy with China, a key player, to enforce sanctions effectively, amid
complicated bilateral relations over China’s aggressive military muscle flexing
in the South and East China seas.
Inada and Carter also agreed that the ruling by
the International Arbitration Court in The Hague over the territorial dispute
between China and the Philippines is final, saying they uphold the principle of
freedom of navigation and emphasizing the importance of maritime operations
based on international law, the ministry added.
The two chiefs also pledged to cooperate in
providing capacity building to neighboring countries. The comments came after
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte earlier this week said that U.S. troops
should stay out of his country, it said.
