日本前政治家石巴(Shigeru Ishiba)提出成立亚洲北约来对抗中国, 建议改变日本的自卫方式, 并修改美日安全条约。 Former Japanese politician Shigeru Ishiba proposes an Asian NATO to counter China, suggesting changes to Japan's self-defense approach and revisions to the US-Japan Security Treaty. 这是在此前内阁作出允许日本限制集体自卫的决定之后发生的。 This comes after a previous cabinet decision allowing Japan limited collective self-defense. 尽管石巴主张多边安全框架,但美国却更喜欢其目前在该区域结成联盟的“后方工作”。 While Ishiba advocates for a multilateral security framework, the US prefers its current "latticework" of alliances in the region.
