Japan is China's most important maritime neighbor. Its maritime strategy is not only an important part of Japan's national strategy, but also closely related to the direction of Sino-Japanese relations and China's national interests and maritime rights and interests. This book examines the historical evolution of Japan's maritime strategy and its relationship with Japan's national strategy. It sorts out the basic connotation and theoretical foundation of Japan's maritime strategy in modern times and the "maritime nation theory" after the Cold War. It discusses the main goals, strategic planning, key measures, and implementation approaches of Japan's "new maritime nation" strategy. It also discusses Japan's strategic adjustments and trends on maritime laws and island disputes, and puts forward several opinions on accelerating the establishment of China's maritime strategic advantages. This book is the first monograph on Japanese maritime strategy in China.
