Former Tokyo Governor Masuzoe says Japan is subordinate to the US, and a US-China summit could make US-Japan talks meaningless

Former Tokyo Governor Yoichi Masuzoe stated Japan is completely subordinate to the US. He believes a US-China summit in April will render prior US-Japan talks meaningless. Masuzoe noted Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and South Africa are aligning against the US, resembling WWII Axis powers. He also cited Trump's potential actions regarding Greenland as a threat to NATO. Masuzoe, an international relations scholar, expressed these views on X. He emphasized the necessity of foreign policy and defense knowledge for prime ministerial candidates.
