Abstract
Abstract Asia has been neglected in American foreign policy, and Japan has been neglected in American policy in Asia. Yet it is Japan, not China, that has the potential for becoming a superpower in this century. The United States, therefore, should recognize Japan's importance and encourage it to share more of the defense burden. In addition, the United States should recognize its responsibility for the trade imbalance with Japan: instead of blaming the Japanese, U.S. industries should become more export‐oriented, and the U.S. government should revise legislation that impedes the export of American resources (e.g., Alaskan oil) to Japan. These measures would serve as the basis of a new U.S.‐Japan alliance whose ultimate goal would be a revised security treaty making Japan a true ally, rather than a protectorate.
