1. To reach at top is one thing, and 
2. Maintaining your top place is another thing; 

Both need different kinds of dimensions, and the more accepted and challenging one is maintaining or holding your position.

The same is happening with respect to India and Japan.

1. India's GDP forecast figures are out, and it is 7.8% 
2. Let me know you India lies in the first thought of the category, where we are climbing for the top position.
3. Against it, given the demographic division, where about 65% population lies in the old age category, and the non-military character of Japan, now it is getting tough to hold its top-recognized position in the world order.

So, -

1. What Japan needs to do 
2. To maintain its future relevance, certainly the first important thing, and 
3. The most important thing is to increase its military (muscles) power, 
4. Which is more important than mind power? 
5. Only then would you be able to survive and hold your position.

    

1. As a consequence of this, by the year 2027, Japan has declared to spend 2% of its GDP on military expansion 
2. By doing so is going to be the third-largest military spender after the US -& China.

Just because- 

1. History tells us that peace only exists after military struggle, and 
2. This is evident from the era of peace of about 80 years for Japan since the Second World War, when large-scale human civilization destruction occurred. 
3. In that struggle, China also suffered a lot, and if Japan had ended with China, the result of the Second World War could have been 180 degrees different.

Why Japan is doing so,- 

1. because the future is full of struggle with respect to the Sea of Japan/ East Sea and the South China Sea, and 
2. Taiwan is the new war zone, according to the best of world anticipation 
3. Very soon, China is going to launch its military operation over Taiwan, 
4. Once Taiwan is lost, the dominant position in the South China Sea shall be held by China, 
5. A direct threat to the Sovereign existence of Japan, because 
6. Now, the "BIG BROTHER PRESIDENT" is no longer a trusted partner in respect to world diplomacy and the security of Japan.

🙋Here comes the role of India with its relevance to Japan 🤝.

1. Given the geography of Japan, 74% geographical area is under forest cover. 
2. It is an Island country based on the tectonic plate of the Pacific +Philippines+ Philippine Plate, 
3. which makes it one of the world's most earthquake, volcanic eruption, and tsunami-oriented countries.

👉SCO a Failed Organization? !! What is Shanghai Cooperation Organization 2025 UPSC Notes !! SCO importance for India !! 

It was-

1. After World War II, when Japan turned to capitalism, while maintaining the peace, 
2. India emerged all-time weather friend, in respect of iron ore, which is the backbone of any country's economy, to export to Japan.
3.  So, as a demand from India, the Deccan region, through Mangalore Port, is continuously supplying iron ore to Japan.
4. What we are receiving in investment from Japan is actually a return from Japan because the major contributor, with friendly investment, in Japan's infrastructure in India is through its iron ore contribution.

          

        "This is the first dynamic of our discussion, a PM visit from Japan to China".👍

 

1. Now in South China and in the Pacific belt region, Japan also has a territorial dispute with China, 
2. which traditionally -& historically makes them natural enemies.
3. Where Chinese communist psychology reads Japan as a historical war criminal of China.

One IMPORTANT Geopolitics Equation-

1. History tells us that the two neighbouring countries, despite being antagonistic towards each other, maintain a sustained level of relationship which involves a lesser chance of military conflict, and 
2. This has been proven in the case of India-China's relationship.

This relationship becomes stronger as both share the common geopolitical competitor, which is a stronger one- "BIG BROTHER PRESIDENT".

But, -

1. From the Indian National Diplomacy point of view,  
2. Is China a reliable partner? We need to give a second thought, and 
3. Against it, the neighbor of China, Japan, is one of the most reliable partners of India in world diplomacy. 
4. It must be ensured before reaching China that 
5. A proper balancing of homework has been done if something unexpected from the Chinese side is about to happen.

So, -

1. In view of these two dimensions 
2. In the shadow of trade tariff issues, which have been declared as unethical -& illogical by the FEDERAL COURT, from the side of the USA, 
3. The positive signal from the Chinese side, 
4. India's well-established Global geopolitical position after Operation SINDOOR, and 
5. Re-emergence of Japan in respect of military engagement, 
6. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reaching out to China to attend the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization" meeting, and 
7. Along with this platform, also holding the bilateral summits.

The political attitude shown by US President Donald Trump has come out as an opportunity for India, with respect to two dimensions, 

1. In the near future, there shall be no division between the USA and China with respect to the Western world and the Eastern world, respectively. 
2. Where China could act as a Middle Empire, when the US could have surrendered the eastern part of Earth to China's expansionist diplomacy.

Earth is round, same the international diplomacy. By the time the relationship turns around between the US and China, India and Japan will secure and hold their dominating respective positions in world order, and  the major dominating powers in the world shall be

1. The US
2. India  
3. China, 
4. Russia, and 
5. Japan.

  

In the shadow of all those dimensions, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji is set to attend, Asia NATO summit, the SCO summit in TIANJIN, CHINA, a port city in the Yellow Sea. 

In the next lecture, we will conclude what SCO is all about and its outcome.
