一 | According to the Japanese daily Nikkei, the government of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will scrap its usual ceiling on defense-related spending requests for the coming fiscal year, paving the way for a dramatic increase in military spending. Kishida is set to approve the policy before the end of the month.,Jeff Kingston, director of Asian Studies at the Tokyo campus of Temple University, told the South China Morning Post that the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe earlier this month had allowed his Liberal Democratic Party to pursue its longstanding goal of amending Article 9, the so-called pacifism clause, of Japan’s constitution.,“It is clear that Kishida was already planning to boost defense spending, but the assassination of Abe has served to put wind in his sails and even the normally extremely cautious Ministry of Finance is not now raising any objections,” Kingston told the Hong Kong paper.,Abe’s killing, just days before parliamentary elections, catapulted the Liberal Democrats, a right-wing party, to a resounding victory and an even greater majority in the House of Councillors, the upper house of the Japanese Diet.,He said that between recent missile tests by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), increased tensions with China over Taiwan, and Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, Kishida’s government was “almost spoiled for choice” when it came to justifications for hiking the defense budget.,Japan, US Hold Joint Air Drills Involving 52 Aircraft: Military14 July, 07:48 GMT,“[W]hat is interesting is that if Abe had put forward these plans when he was prime minister, there would have been a quick and harsh pushback,” Kingston told the SCMP. During his nine years in power, Abe pushed to remove or amend the pacifism clause of the Japanese constitution that was put in place after World War II as a guard against renewed Japanese militarism.,“Everything that has happened in Ukraine has really put the liberal left on the back foot and altered that commitment to peace that has long been a part of the national psyche,” he added. “I had expected a more vigorous response, but it has been relatively muted.”,According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Japan had the world’s ninth-largest military budget last year, spending $54.1 billion, or 1.1% of its GDP, despite its pacifist constitution. That was a 7.3% increase over its budget the previous year, the largest increase of any of the top 15 military spenders except for Iran.,Nonetheless, Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said in April that Kishida’s government has plans to double that to 2% of GDP within five years. At a projected $108 billion per year, that would make Japan's military budget the world’s third-largest, after the United States and China. Kishi said Japan was particularly interested in “counterstrike capabilities” that could hit the bases of countries that attack the island nation.,However, the move isn’t particularly popular with the Japanese public. A June poll by Japan’s Kyodo News Agency found that while 37.2% of Japanese citizens surveyed supported the proposed increase, almost as many, 31.5%, opposed it.。 中新社北京8月26日电(邢翀 马帅莎 刘纪)应中国国家主席习近平邀请,约旦国王阿卜杜拉二世于8月18日至24日对中国进行国事访问。这是他登基以来第9次访华,也是时隔11年再次访华。 24日,习近平在同阿卜杜拉二世会谈时指出,面对变乱交织的国际和地区形势,建设更具内涵、更有活力的中约关系符合两国人民共同期待,也顺应全球南方联合自强的大势。

二 | “更具内涵、更有活力”,成为观察此访和中约关系下一步发展的关键词。 “更具内涵、更有活力”,在于合作领域更广、内容更实。 此访期间,双方围绕深化关系作出系列安排,在推动贸易、投资、能源等传统领域合作走深的同时,将绿色经济、数字经济、人工智能等新兴领域合作摆在突出位置,签署外交、经贸、产供链、司法等领域多项合作文件。

三 | 中国国际问题研究院助理研究员李子昕认为,中约合作不断拓展,延伸至执法司法、反恐协调、环保等领域,双边关系进一步向更具体、更可落实的机制化合作迈进。 有观点指出,中约合作既在拓宽“面”,也在做实“点”。双方发展需求的对接更加具体,为战略伙伴关系提供更多务实支撑。 “更具内涵、更有活力”,还在于参与主体更加多元。 会谈时,习近平强调,全方位深化教育、文化、科技、旅游等交流,扩大人员往来。政治互信和务实合作之外,更广泛的人文交流和社会交往,有助于夯实中约友好的民意基础。 阿卜杜拉二世访华行程也体现这一特点。

四 | 在此访首站上海,他走访人工智能、旅游等领域企业,并出席商务圆桌会;在深圳,他参观先进空中交通和机器人领域企业展示,探讨先进制造、科技创新、智慧城市等合作机会。 当地方、企业等更多主体参与其中,两国合作共识有了更丰富的落地载体,中约交往也呈现出更多元、活跃的面貌。 复旦大学中东研究中心主任孙德刚说,合作主体和互动方式更加多元,有助于增强中约关系的韧性,使双方能够更好应对外部不确定性的考验。 “更具内涵、更有活力”,也在于双边关系战略性更加凸显。 在两国发表的联合声明中,双方围绕加沙停火、巴勒斯坦问题、美伊停火、霍尔木兹海峡通行等形成一系列共识。中约都主张通过对话和外交途径解决国与国之间争端。

五 | 孙德刚指出,在相互支持彼此核心利益和重大关切基础上,中约在地区和国际事务中的协调更加密切,战略伙伴关系的协作层次由此进一步深化。 明年,中约将迎来建交50周年。

六 | 李子昕认为,“更具内涵、更有活力”,既承接近50年积累的友好关系和合作成果,也为新形势下双方拓展合作明确了方向。 专家指出,此访释放深化合作的信号,助力推动合作结构升级、战略协作深化、关系韧性增强。这也正是建设“更具内涵、更有活力”的中约关系的题中之义。(完) 【编辑:张子怡】。
