To Jim, From Patricianne: Thank you for the welcome. I'm just a lurker/learner here. I picked this article up from AFR (Australia) Net services about 5 days ago. No-one else seems to have posted it..probably old news now. Is it time for US-Japan-Australia security pact? By Geoffrey Barker Australia and Japan are now moving quickly to overcome their habitual caution about expanding bilateral security r Judging by Tuesday's speech by the Australian Defence Minister, Ian McLachlan, the two countries are about to substantially upgrade defence intelligence and other contacts, while continuing to deny any plans to move towards a formal defence treaty. Of course, such a treaty would have to be implemented carefully. Neither the US nor Japan nor Australia have any interest in unduly alarming regional neighbours with whom they have separate important relations. China, especially, would obviously need to be reassured that such a treaty was not a containment exercise. The US, Japan and Australia all insist that their policies are not directed towards the containment of China, and acknowledge the need for enhanced security dialogue with China and China's integration into co-operative regional and global security arrangements. Not surprisingly China is concerned at any possibility of Japan pursuing wider military power; it has been alarmed by the review of guidelines for US-Japan defence co-operation, and this week's visit to China by Japan's Prime Minister, Ryutaro Hashimoto, has been an exercise in reassuring Beijing ) Is this unusual? normal? Am I being a scaremonger? Patricianne
