Japan-U.S Relations

Presence of unity and cooperation is vital for the growth of a relationship. Respect with each other is also a good way of growing a relationship. On the end of World War II, Japan and USA became allies after the signing of a treaty. We all know that these two countries were enemies, but they established a strong economic relationship even though economic difficulty was experienced. We can say that the presence of such mutualism is for the benefit of the East and the West. There are many ways on how they show a good relationship.

The Peace Treaty
The San Francisco Treaty was signed by the Japanese as a way of expressing their peace with the Allied Powers. It was done to show global cooperation, war on terrorism, and political and economic cooperation. Furthermore, the peace treaty will provide as a constant reminder of the wrong choice that it did during World War II. Moreover, Japan, the superpower of Asia, must provide a good relationship with the top countries of the West such as England and USA or else, they will be considered a threat to global peace. In doing so, they will stand up as the representative of the Eastern Hemisphere of the World. One must remember that the most advanced is always on the top.

Japan-U.S. Economic Relationship

Of course, investment is always part of a relationship. It was said that there was a friction in Japanese – American Economic relationship. After World War, investments are one of the good ways to expand capital profit. Cheating is always part of trade. USA said that Japan did things which are not favorable in their presence. For example, Japan sold machines to Russia which enabled them to create submarines which are not detectable by USA. Such accusations showed American greed, but come to think of it, such action done by Japan is really not a good one. Remember that USA and Russia both have bad reputation with each other since the Cold War. Still, Japanese – American economic mutualism becomes better and better everyday. Japan is America’s number one trade partner since both countries have good technological advancements. As global leaders, their economic strategies must lead to global economic stability.

Global Cooperation Issues

There are many ways on how Japan shows its cooperation with the United States. First is fight on terrorism. Ever since the attack on America, Japan made vigorous efforts on preventing such terrorisms. They took the war on their own which is good enough as an ally of US. Second, for the reform in UN, Japan made efforts by providing certain ideologies which would improve the organization. They do not aim to change the UN but to improve the UN in terms of peace building. Third is global development. How do they do it? Their main goal is to make common development principles which would ensure the most effective way of giving welfare assistance to third world countries. Last is global warming. Joint efforts of Japan and America to alleviate global warming are done by building environmentally friendly materials and equipments. Furthermore, strengthening policies regarding pollutants are strengthened by Japan and America. These policies are passed to countries like China, India, and other developed countries.

Conclusion

Indeed, these two countries must coexist so that they would be responsible to underdeveloped and undeveloped countries of the East and the West, being superpowers of the continents. Moreover, the examples that they show to other countries would show that they have the ability to control each other’s feelings with each other. War is not a way to settle disputes. It is a method that would destroy relationships. Mutualism is present because even if cultures are different, cooperation is vital for the survival of our species.
