Citing what he called their shared \u201cOriental wisdom,\u201d he quoted a proverb, seemingly alluding to the United States as an unreliable, distant ally: \u201cClose neighbors are better than relatives far away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But even as the officials were talking, two Chinese Coast Guard ships had begun an unusual incursion into waters near disputed islands in the East China Sea. Japan\u2019s coast guard, which moved to intercept them, said the Chinese ships were armed and had been pursuing a small Japanese fishing boat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Japan said the incursion, which lasted nearly four days, was China\u2019s longest yet into the waters around the islands, which are claimed by both countries. Japan\u2019s foreign minister said he had protested to Mr. Wang on Saturday about an increase in such activity around the uninhabited islands, which Japan calls the Senkaku and China calls the Diaoyu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">China\u2019s simultaneous pledges of friendship and deployment of armed ships reflect the two sides of Beijing\u2019s strategy for dealing with a Trump administration that is rapidly recalibrating America\u2019s place in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">China is using a \u201ccarrots and sticks\u201d approach with its neighbors, to \u201creward the policies of the target country that advantage Chinese interests and warn against those policies that are harmful to China,\u201d said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gmfus.org\/find-experts\/bonnie-s-glaser\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bonnie S. Glaser<\/a>, the managing director of the Indo-Pacific Program at the German Marshall Fund, a Washington-based research institution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On the one hand, as Mr. Trump alienates allies of the United States, including by imposing tariffs and, in Japan\u2019s case, questioning the fairness of a defense treaty, China sees an opportunity to court those countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On the other hand, China seems to have concluded that Mr. Trump\u2019s abrasive foreign policy gives it leverage to advance its interests when so many U.S. allies are feeling vulnerable and questioning America\u2019s reliability. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cChina sees Trump\u2019s alienation of U.S. allies as providing an opportunity, but that doesn\u2019t mean that Beijing will refrain from signaling their dissatisfaction when China\u2019s core interests are being threatened,\u201d Ms. Glaser said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That seems to be the case with Australia, which has had, at times, a tumultuous relationship with China. After Prime Minister Anthony Albanese took office in 2022, he moved to repair the relationship. Since then, China has lifted restrictions on a range of Australian exports, including wine, red meat and lobster. Last month, Chinese and Australian defense officials held high-level talks in Beijing for the first time in six years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But just days later, a Chinese naval flotilla began <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/12\/world\/australia\/china-warships-australia-aukus.html\" title=\"\">circumnavigating Australia<\/a>, unannounced. It conducted a live-fire drill in the area for the first time, forcing dozens of civilian flights to reroute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The exercises set off alarm in Australia and calls to re-evaluate its defenses. Some analysts said the drills were probably a response to the Australian Navy\u2019s frequent voyages in the South China Sea, over which China claims sovereignty. Others said China could have been testing how the Trump administration would react to shows of force so close to one of America\u2019s most trusted allies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBeijing may be trying to see what it can get away with,\u201d hoping to establish a new norm for its operations in the region, said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/discovery.nus.edu.sg\/2380-ja-ian-chong\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ja Ian Chong<\/a>, an associate professor of political science at the National University of Singapore. \u201cI suppose one calculation is that if the United States is ineffective or paralyzed, the other actors are unable to do much on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">China has taken a similar hard-and-soft approach with South Korea and Vietnam. Its trade with Vietnam is flourishing, and it has indicated that it might soon lift an unofficial ban on K-pop entertainment from South Korea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But China held live-fire drills in the Gulf of Tonkin last month after Vietnam pressed territorial claims in those waters. And it deployed its coast guard near South Korea last week after a Korean vessel tried to inspect Chinese-built steel structures in the area. (South Korea lodged an official protest with Beijing over that incident.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Such assertive behavior is a reminder that despite the changing geopolitical currents, China remains committed to one of its primary goals, which is to become the dominant power in the Asia-Pacific region, said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lowyinstitute.org\/richard-mcgregor\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Richard McGregor<\/a>, a senior fellow for East Asia at the Lowy Institute, a foreign policy think tank in Sydney.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe waters near Japan, in the South China Sea and around Australia are all in a way parts of an indivisible theater of Chinese interests,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are going to pursue those goals whatever the ups and downs with the U.S. are. The Chinese also calculate they can do both at the same time. They are embracing while fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Japan\u2019s relationship with China embodies those contradictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The two countries\u2019 ties have thawed in recent months. In January, the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s diplomatic arm held talks with Japan\u2019s governing Liberal Democratic Party for the first time in years. Both nations have loosened visa rules for each other\u2019s tourists, and China has muted its objections to Japan\u2019s release of treated radioactive water from the ruined Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yet tensions persist. This month, Japan said it was considering putting long-range missiles on its southwestern island of Kyushu. Those missiles could target China\u2019s forces if it tried to invade Taiwan, the de facto independent island claimed by Beijing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Meanwhile, Japan says China has been <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kaiho.mlit.go.jp\/mission\/senkaku\/senkaku.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">sending more and more ships<\/a> into waters near the Senkaku islands, which Japan controls, in what Japanese analysts call a strategy to slowly ratchet up challenges to the status quo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The latest incursion started before dawn on Friday, when two Chinese Coast Guard ships entered territorial waters around the islet of Minamikojima, apparently chasing a much smaller Japanese fishing boat. Japan\u2019s coast guard said it sent ships to head off the Chinese vessels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Japanese ships protected the fishing boat while demanding that the Chinese withdraw. The Chinese refused, beginning a 92-hour standoff in which the ships sailed side by side, each crew shouting claims to the islands at the other. At one point, two more Chinese ships briefly joined the fray.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Japan\u2019s coast guard said it finally \u201cforced the Chinese Coast Guard ships to withdraw\u201d late on Monday evening. It said China\u2019s longest previous incursion, in 2023, had lasted almost 81 hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A former Japanese Coast Guard commander, Atsushi Tohyama, called the recent incursion part of a strategy of attrition that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/09\/20\/world\/asia\/20chinajapan.html\" title=\"\">began in 2010<\/a>, when a Chinese fishing trawler rammed a Japanese Coast Guard ship near the Senkakus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey appear to have been provoked by the fishing boat,\u201d Mr. Tohyama said of the Chinese ships involved in the latest standoff. \u201cFrom what I\u2019ve been told, the fishing boat stayed in waters around the island longer than usual, and the Chinese retaliated in kind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn a dispute like this, even the act of fishing becomes a declaration of sovereignty,\u201d Mr. Tohyama said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid
