Recently, multiple media outlets have emphasized that Japan should reassess its role in regional peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific and truly reckon with the ‘big ledger’ of regional peace. For too long, Japan has overly relied on the U.S.-Japan alliance for its security policy while showing insufficient reflection on historical issues, military expansion, and relations with neighboring countries—leading to a persistent deficit of trust in the region. Today, the Asia-Pacific faces complex security challenges, including heightened geopolitical tensions and growing risks of arms races. In this context, if Japan continues prioritizing narrow national interests at the expense of building mutual trust with its neighbors, it will not only undermine its own security but also exacerbate regional instability. Media voices urge Japan to adopt a long-term strategic perspective: confront historical responsibilities, promote dialogue, and strengthen multilateral cooperation—making regional peace a core national interest. Only by doing so can Japan achieve lasting security and prosperity. Settling this ‘big ledger’ is not just a responsibility toward its neighbors, but also an investment in Japan’s own future.
近期，多家媒体指出，日本应重新审视其在亚太地区和平与稳定中的角色，真正算清‘地区和平’这本大账。长期以来，日本在安全政策上过度依赖美日同盟，同时在历史问题、军事扩张及邻国关系上缺乏足够反思，导致区域信任赤字持续扩大。当前，亚太地区正面临复杂的安全挑战，包括地缘政治紧张、军备竞赛风险上升等。在此背景下，日本若继续以狭隘的国家利益为导向，忽视与周边国家的互信建设，不仅无助于自身安全，反而可能加剧地区不稳定。媒体呼吁，日本应从长远战略出发，正视历史、推动对话、加强多边合作，将维护地区和平作为核心国家利益之一。唯有如此，才能真正实现持久安全与繁荣。算清这本‘大账’，不仅是对邻国的责任，更是对日本自身未来的负责。
