WASHINGTON, Aug 14 - The United States, Japan and South Korea will launch a series of joint initiatives on technology and defense when the countries' leaders gather at Camp David this Friday, according to senior U.S. administration officials, amid mounting shared concerns about China.
Washington has formal collective defense arrangements in place with both Tokyo and Seoul separately, but it wants those two countries to work closer together given growing concerns about China's mounting power and worries about its intentions. The summit is also expected to lead to a joint statement between the countries that includes some language speaking to concerns about China's desire to change the status of self-governed Taiwan, which it claims as its own territory.
