Abstract: After World War II, Japans foreign trade strategy experienced three stages. The first stage (1955-1999) is the stage of multilateral liberalization strategy centered on GATT/WTO. The second stage (2000-2012) is the stage of bilateral EPA strategy. The third stage is the stage of “TPP rulesled” regional free trade agreement strategy during the period of Abenomics. Abe regime intends to use TPP rules to dominate large regional free trade agreements involving the United States, the European Union, and China. But Trumps protectionist policies will not only shake the Abe regimes foreign trade strategy, it will also have a great impact on the economic policy system of Abenomics. Japan needs to facilitate the implementation of ChinaJapanKorea Free Trade Agreement and RCEP as soon as possible, thereby contributing to the development of the global free trade system.
