AB - Based on the theory of liberal institutionalism, this paper explores the new direction of US-Japan alliance cooperation in China from three aspects: rules, norms and practice. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the global economic center has shifted to the Asia-Pacific region, and China’s comprehensive strength has been continuously improving. Under this background, the US-Japan alliance has carried out strategic adjustments in three dimensions: rules, norms and practices, and its directivity toward China has gradually emerged. At the rule level, the China factor frequently appears in documents such as the joint statement and defense guidelines of the US-Japan alliance, which has become an important part of institutionalized cooperation. At the normative level, the two sides have reached a strategic consensus on containing China’s rise, and have formed alliance norms through common threat cognition. On a practical level, the US-Japan alliance has become a key tool for containing China. The research shows that despite the differences in threat perception and policy orientation of the US-Japan alliance in cooperation with China, the China-oriented orientation of US-Japan alliance cooperation will continue and deepen under the background of the intensification of Sino-US strategic competition and the upcoming second term of Trump. This paper will analyze the strategic direction of the US-Japan alliance towards China from the perspective of institutionalism, and provide a new perspective for understanding the evolution and cooperation of the alliance.
