China’s 150 J-20 Intercept F-35 Fleet As Australia and Japan Combined Military Strength


Can china's 150 J-20s stop a mammoth fleet of F-35 stealth jets as Australia Japan signed historic defense pact?

"Australia and Japan have signed a new pact to boost collaboration between the two countries in the field of defense and security," australian prime minister Scott Morrison said on december 6. Prime minister today we demonstrate the strength of our bonds as we sign our reciprocal access agreement, the first of its kind for japan. 

The RAA (Reciprocal Access Agreement) is a landmark treaty that opens a new chapter for advanced defense and security cooperation, in what is a complex and rapidly changing world, something you and i both understand very well, Morrison said to japanese prime minister Fumio Kashida during a virtual meeting.

Morrison also stated the agreement will bolster more complex engagement interoperability and cooperation between the australian and japanese forces. In november 2021 Morrison said Tokyo and Canberra had reached an agreement in principle on the Japan-Australia reciprocal access treaty that would deepen the country's strategic and security relationship.

The reciprocal access agreement will boost interoperability and collaboration between the japanese self-defense forces and the australian defense force by eliminating limitations on the movement of weapons and supplies for cooperative training and disaster relief missions.

Moreover it will also facilitate faster deployment of defence personnel. In late 2020 Japan and Australia had stated that they would work to ease legal and administrative impediments to their forces visiting each other's countries, enabling more cooperative training and rapid military assistance in a crisis.

With this deal australia becomes the second country to have a formal defense treaty with Japan after the US. It comes as the united states, a key ally of both nations, strives to boost defense cooperation in the face of china's expanding military clout in the indo-pacific region.

The three nations along with india are part of a bigger regional alliance called quadrilateral security dialogue or quad. stronger security relations are building among quad partners to address common concerns about China in the indo-pacific region.

European countries have also begun taking a greater interest in the security issues of the region. the new treaty, according to the australian prime minister is a statement of the two nations commitment to work together in meeting the shared strategic security challenges and to contribute to a secure and stable indo-pacific.

Morrison said that the cooperation also includes an expanding agenda for quad with India and the United States in a shared technology-led approach to reduce carbon emissions. 

Japan's prime minister Fumio Kashida said, based on the principle of a free and open indo-pacific, i want to raise cooperation with the us australia and india and build close ties with their leaders through close consultations.

We share with australia the basic values of freedom and democracy, japanese chief cabinet secretary Hiracasa Mitsuno told reporters on january 5th.

The two leaders aim to address issues of mutual concern, including national security, the economy and regional affairs. in order to improve bilateral ties and cooperation toward a free and open indo-pacific, he added.

As expected, the development has not gone down well with china. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that agreements between countries should promote peace and not target any third parties.

The pacific is vast enough, there's enough room for shared development for all. He said noting that china hoped people would not be stirring up trouble in the region.

The Japanese prime minister said on january 4th that he had planned an in-person meeting with Morrison but had to shift it to a virtual mode in order to deal with the recent spike in covid 19 cases. 

Relations between Australia and China have hit a rough patch after Canberra accused Beijing of meddling in its politics and barred huawei technologies co, from participating in the implementation of 5g infrastructure.

The China-Australia ties have been fragile since the australian government sought an independent investigation into the wuhan coronavirus theory in 2020. Beijing retaliated with a slew of trade measures, including punishing tariffs on australian barley and wine and halting coal exports.

Beijing's relationship with japan has also deteriorated as a result of its crackdown on hong kong and the ongoing tension between China and Taiwan.

Former Japanese PM Yoshihide Shuga had once referred to taiwan as a country, during a meeting of the national diet, the country's bicameral legislature angering china.
