" The German Defense Minister also said that she believed that Japan played a "extremely important role" in the Safety of Indo -Pacific region.

Zhou Yongsheng, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of the School of Foreign Affairs, told the Global Times on the 28th that there are three considerations for Germany to step up cooperation. First, Germany is an important member of NATO. Japan hopes that through military cooperation with Germany, and then introduce NATO and other NATO members to East Asia to restrict China. Secondly, Germany is also willing to take the opportunity to extend its forces and tentacles to East Asia and Indo -Pacific regions, which helps expand German regions and international influence. In addition, "although there are no clear states on the surface of Germany and Japan, there are actually intentions to restrict China's Taiwan policy through military exchanges and military union."
