The recent election victory of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) has resulted in more resistance to a truly shared U.S.-Japanese mission. Refusing to provide troops to aid the coalition in Afghanistan, and generally uninterested in actively engaging in overseas security missions, the risk-averse DPJ is pulling back from its responsibilities in the U.S.-Japan alliance, as well as internationally. This leaves the U.S. in the position of responding to an ally who demands an equal role yet resists assuming equal responsibilities. http://www.heritage.org/Research/AsiaandthePacific/bg2340.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Bruce Klingner Asia Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:47:51 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/AsiaandthePacific/bg2340.cfm More open Taiwanese trade and investment with China fits the principles of American foreign policy.

However, it must be followed by concrete and consistent U.S. aid programs and a clear U.S. commitment to stabilizing Afghanistan. http://www.heritage.org/Research/AsiaandthePacific/wm2668.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Lisa Curtis Asia Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:01:38 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/AsiaandthePacific/wm2668.cfm President Obama must avoid shortsighted policies that undermine U.S. friends in Afghanistan and Pakistan while encouraging America's enemies. http://www.heritage.org/Research/MiddleEast/wm2640.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Lisa Curtis and James Phillips Asia Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:38:08 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/MiddleEast/wm2640.cfm
