Hegseth Reaffirms US Commitment to Asia

The United States remains fully committed to the Asia-Pacific region despite its involvement in the conflict with Iran, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during the Shangri-La Dialogue security forum in Singapore. Speaking before regional defense leaders, Hegseth sought to reassure US allies that Washington’s military focus on global crises would not come at the expense of its commitments in Asia. He emphasized that the United States is capable of addressing multiple security challenges simultaneously, including maintaining stability in the Pacific while pursuing its objectives in the Middle East. “We can do two things at the same time,” Hegseth said, rejecting concerns that the Iran conflict could weaken US engagement with Asian partners. His remarks came after Japan’s Defense Minister, Shinjiro Koizumi, raised questions about America’s long-term commitment to the region, warning that some countries might attempt to exploit doubts […]

Trump calls on Japan and NATO to step up on Iran as Hormuz crisis lifts oil prices

President Donald Trump has pressed Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and NATO allies to “step up” support for the US led war with Iran as surging oil prices hit the global economy . At a White House meeting, Trump praised Takaichi but urged Japan to do more to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran’s actions have severely disrupted tanker traffic and driven energy prices higher . He said Washington does not “need anything” from allies but argued it is appropriate for partners like Japan and NATO members to contribute more ships to clear mines and escort tankers through the strategic waterway . Trump defended keeping allies in the dark about his Iran plans by invoking Japan’s 1941 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, telling a Japanese reporter, “We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t […]

Hong Kong media tycoon and prominent China critic Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in the city’s most high profile national security case.

China warns citizens against Japan travel for Lunar New Year

China has urged its citizens to avoid travelling to Japan during next month’s Lunar New Year holiday, citing what it calls deteriorating public security and rising threats to Chinese nationals. The advisory comes amid a diplomatic spat after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested in November that Tokyo could intervene militarily if China attacked Taiwan.​ Beijing had already called on Chinese tourists to stay away from Japan following Takaichi’s comments, a move that contributed to a 45 percent year‑on‑year drop in Chinese visitors in December to around 330,000. Chinese tourists previously made up about a quarter of all foreign visitors, with nearly 7.5 million arrivals in the first nine months of 2025 and spending an estimated 3.7 billion dollars in the third quarter alone, helped by a weak yen.​ In a fresh statement on Monday, the foreign ministry’s Department of […]

North Korea tests hypersonic missiles, warns nuclear forces are war ready

North Korea says it has successfully test fired new hypersonic missiles under the supervision of leader Kim Jong Un to prepare its nuclear forces for a possible war. State media said the launches were part of drills to place the country’s nuclear arsenal on a more practical, combat ready footing amid what Pyongyang called a worsening geopolitical crisis.​ According to reports, the missiles flew around 1,000 kilometres over waters east of North Korea, in what Seoul and Tokyo described as the country’s first ballistic missile test of the year. Hypersonic missiles travel at more than five times the speed of sound and can manoeuvre in flight, making them harder for existing air and missile defences to track or intercept.​ Kim said recent international events, including the U.S. military operation that removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, proved the need for a […]

Japan denies report Trump told PM not to provoke China

Japan has denied a media report claiming that United States President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Fumio Kishida not to provoke China over Taiwan during their recent talks in Washington. The report had suggested that Trump urged Japan to act cautiously on Taiwan so as not to increase tensions with Beijing.​ Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi dismissed the account when asked about it in Tokyo. He said it was not true that Trump had given such a warning to Kishida. Hayashi stressed that the discussions between the two leaders were consistent with Japan’s existing policy on China and Taiwan.​ The US and Japan have repeatedly said they want peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Both governments have also agreed to deepen security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region in response to China’s growing military activities.​ Hayashi declined to reveal detailed […]

China Warns Citizens to Stay Away from Japan Amid Diplomatic Tensions

China has issued a travel advisory urging its citizens to avoid Japan after a diplomatic row flared over Tokyo’s recent comments regarding Taiwan. The dispute began when Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told parliament that military action against Taiwan—a self-ruled island claimed by China—could prompt a Japanese response. China responded by summoning Japan’s ambassador and later warning Chinese nationals of “significant risks to personal safety” in Japan through its embassy’s official WeChat channel. Beijing criticized the “provocative remarks regarding Taiwan” and noted the damage to the atmosphere of people-to-people exchanges. In light of the advisory, China’s three biggest airlines—Air China, China Southern, and China Eastern—offered full refunds and changes on flights to Japan through December 2025. Japan’s government called China’s warning “inconsistent with the promotion of a strategic and mutually beneficial relationship” and has summoned China’s ambassador in response to […]
