Japanese Nationalism

This chapter appraises Japan’s crucial role in the US ‘pivot’ to Asia, against the background of the evolution of post-war relations between Japan, the US and China. It argues that the rise of Japanese nationalism has encouraged it to challenge China, reorienting its military priorities towards China and becoming more assertive in the East China Sea. But while this has suited the US’s aims in the region, Japan’s nationalists are not it in its control. Their over-assertiveness and apparent revanchism has created problems between Japan and South Korea and an obstacle to the US’s goal of creating a northeast Asian bloc of the US, Japan and South Korea to contain China

Japanese Nationalism

In September 2012, massive and violent anti-Japanese protests broke out in more than 100 cities throughout China. Japanese businesses, restaurants and multinational corporations were targeted and Japanese people were attacked on the streets. The protests were a result of the Japanese Government’s decision to purchase and nationalize three islands in the East China Sea located in the island grouping known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan over which both countries have competing sovereignty claims. The purchase occurred only months after nationalist demonstrators from both Hong Kong and Japan independently planted their respective flags on the islands and only a week before the 81st anniversary of the Mukden incident.

<p><span>As connected through relatively narrow and shallow straits, inflow and outflow volume transports of the northeast Asian marginal seas (NEAMS) are strongly forced to yield significant convergence or divergence and resulting rise or drop in spatially-averaged sea level. Here, we examined interannual variations of August NEAMS-mean sea level observed from satellite altimetry from 1993 to 2019. Typhoon activity was found to be a primary factor controlling the interannual variations of NEAMS-mean sea level in August. Relatively high August sea level over the NEAMS is derived in years when more typhoons pass through the East China Sea (Period H) due to typhoon-induced Ekman transports. The resultant NEAMS-mean sea level is a few cm higher than that during the years of less or no typhoon activity in the East China Sea (Period L). This study highlights the importance of typhoon (hurricane) activity on interannual variations of regional sea level in the mid-latitude and semi-enclosed marginal seas.</span></p>

Development Agreement

Abstract South Korea faces a complex situation of overlapping claims in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, in addition to those in the East Sea (or Sea of Japan). The boundary disputes in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea raise two distinctive challenges. The first concerns the joint development agreement signed with Japan almost four decades ago. This agreement is at a stalemate and its initial term of fifty years is fast approaching. There are also reports that the dormancy of the agreement might be partly attributed to an alleged material breach by Japan. Therefore, South Korea should consider the available alternatives, particularly if Japan does not intend to renew the joint development agreement, but instead proceed with its termination. The second challenge concerns the inter-Korean relations and the legal relevance of the Northern Limit Line as a maritime boundary. Although there is no foreseeable timeline for North and South Korea to address the matter, mainly as there are no on-going negotiations, this will ultimately be a key aspect of a future settlement. This article examines these two challenges and attempts to put forward some tentative conclusions regarding the available options for South Korea in both situations.
