Abstract

Abstract: After China proposed the “Belt and Road Initiative” in 2013, the Abe administration of Japan showed extreme resistance and exclusion. Its roots lie in the distortion and misunderstanding of the “Belt and Road” in Japanese society. Influenced by it, the Abe administration adopted a number of preventive policies, such as expanding ODA coverage for countries along the “Belt and Road”, building a “values alliance system”, starting the disputes on maritime affairs, adding capital to ADB in order to counterbalance AIIB, and putting forward the new concept of “Indo-Pacific” strategy. Despite this, the positive results achieved in the development of the “Belt and Road Initiative” have finally led the Abe administration to change its attitude and to shift from “negative conflict” to “active engagement” on specific policies, laying the foundation for future Sino-Japanese cooperation in the context of the“Belt and Road framework.

Key words: Japan, Abe administration, “Belt and Road Initiative”, conservative, exclusion
