Washington says navy restructuring geared toward countering rising threats from China, North Korea and Russia.
America says it’s revamping its navy command in Japan as the 2 international locations face what they name the best strategic problem from China.
US Protection Secretary Lloyd Austin says it’s the most vital change because the navy alliance was shaped 70 years in the past.
Washington and Tokyo say they’re more and more involved by what they name “an evolving safety surroundings”.
They accuse China of partaking in coercive behaviour to vary the established order within the East and South China Seas, round Taiwan and all through the area.
The revamp comes as China is increasing its nuclear arsenal and Russia is strengthening navy ties with North Korea.

And the way will China reply?
