The White House is celebrating tightening ties with Japan and the Philippines to counter China’s increasing assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida spoke alongside President Joe Biden at the White House this afternoon, a moment that underscored Tokyo’s major defense upgrades with Washington’s backing. On Thursday, they’ll hold the first-ever trilateral summit with Philippines President. U.S. officials spoke with their Chinese counterparts many times last week. In one instance, the Pentagon built on months of talks between top officials, culminating in the resumption of a meeting designed to prevent conflict in the Indo-Pacific. Even Xi said the U.S.-China relationship “is beginning to stabilize.” This week, the Biden administration is aiming to “make China isolated and the outlier in the neighborhood,” a senior administration official told reporters Wednesday evening, granted anonymity as a condition to preview the visit. The summit aims to redefine the Japan-U.S. alliance from “alliance protection to alliance projection” in areas including Europe and the Middle East, the official added, saying Japan will now be a “full global partner” of the United States. That includes more integration of U.S.
