Japan’s “Phase III Marine Basic Plan” was based on the recommendations of the major think tanks. After longterm brewing, it was based on the plan of Japans marine thoughts after the Second World War and the postwar Japanese marine policy. It shows three distinct characteristics: the first is that changes in the surrounding marine security environment have prompted Japan to develop a basic marine plan that is different from the past, and the second is that the concept and direction of policy implementation have important innovations, making it more focused on the comprehensive protection of marine safety, the third is the change of specific countermeasures, more emphasis on the strengthening of the Ocean State Control (MDA) system and the strengthening of the strength and intensity of the protection of the southwestern islands and outlying islands. Strengthening comprehensive marine security policies and institutions will surely be the top priority of Japan’s “Defense Program Outline” in the future. The promulgation of this “plan” is an obvious negative asset for SinoJapanese security relations, which may bring a greater degree of obstruction to the continued easing of SinoJapanese relations.

In recent years, Japan-India relations have become increasingly close, and the bilateral security cooperation has continued to intensify. Traditional geopolitical considerations, concerns about energy supply security, and theresponse to changes in security structure in Asia have become driving forces behind Japans strengthening of security cooperation with India, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has become the main promoter. Strengthening security cooperation between Japan and India will worsen the diplomatic environment around China, increase the difficulty to settle territorial disputes peacefully, and induce the growth of instability in Asia. At the same time, it will also promote the transformation of Japans marine strategy and the construction of a normal country. In the future, JapanIndia security cooperation will be comprehensively deepened in areas such as strategic coordination and regional order construction. The impact of such cooperation trend on China deserves vigilance, but it is also necessary to consider objectively. After all, Indias nonaligned diplomatic tradition and its great ambitions may not necessarily lead to a full cooperation with Japans strategic arrangements.

In the past forty years since The ChinaJapan Peace and Friendship Treaty was concluded, great progress has been made in higher education field between China and Japan. It is manifested in the legal guarantee specified in a large number of treaties and agreements, the deepening of exchanges, and the emergence of a series of exchange mechanisms in this field. In the case of Peking University, it is correspondingly reflected in the “Fukuda Plan of Peking University” led by the government, the “BeijingTokyo Forum” led by the social level and the “Jing Forum” spontaneously promoted by students from Peking University and Tokyo University. The number of Japanese students studying at Peking University is steadily increasing, and intercollegiate exchanges have been established with many Japanese universities and scientific research institutions. From the perspective of Peking Universitys participation in higher education exchanges with Japan, the two countries need to further promote the training of talents, constantly promote the development of disciplines and integration of resources within and among themselves, and actively promote the cooperation between the two countries to integrate into the tide of higher education exchanges in East Asia and even the whole world.

The development of social education in Japan clearly reflects the interrelationship between theory and system, that is, the establishment of system needs the support of theory, and the development of theory benefits from the implementation of system. The institutional effect of the development of Japanese social education theory is reflected in the fact that the establishment of social education system strengthens the consciousness of the community within the social education field, that the operation of the social education system regulates the direction of social education research activities and maintains the stability of social order, and that the revision of the social education system innovates the practice of social education, thus promoting the goal of civil society. Of course, the stagnation or retreat of the system can also stimulate the theory to play its role as a catalyst for the development of the system. Given the receding status of the existing Japanese social education system, the creation of Japanese social education theory under the system effect will take a new turn: through re-positioning and understanding of social education to deepen the study of social education theory to promote the innovation and development of social education system.

As an important part of social security, Japanese public pension system plays an irreplaceable role in economic development and social stability. However, after more than half a century, Japan's birth rate, dependency ratio, life expectancy and other demographic structures have undergone tremendous changes. The phenomenon of baby bust and population aging is becoming more and more serious, which has directly led to the reduction of the number of people joining the public annuity and the increase of the number of people taking public pension. The gap between revenue and expenditure of public annuity has become wider. The intergenerational and inter generational inequalities in the Japanese public pension system also have some negative effects, and the sustainability of the system has encountered serious challenges. However, the empirical results show that joining the public pension system can reduce risks and raise the level of welfare. Autoregressive model predicts the revenue and expenditure gap of public annuity in the next 30 years, which further proves that Japan can achieve the sustainability of public pension system.

Japan has always attached importance to the construction of the special protection system of female civil servants, and has clarified the constitutional and legal principles regarding the special protection of Japanese female civil servants. After three stages of exploration before World War II (1889-1938), after World War II (1939-1999), and since the new century (2000-present), a relatively complete special protection system of female civil servants has been formed. Japans practical exploration of “entry” management, “onthejob” management and “exit” management of female civil servants has important implications for China in terms of optimizing the management system of female civil servants, highlighting the value of gender equality, formulating laws and regulations against gender discrimination, improving homework balance skills and psychological adjustment of female civil servants, building a humanized service guarantee system, and developing advanced gender culture.

There is no clear definition of the concept of “verbatim translation” in Japanese, and the evaluations of this method are mixed. The author finds that in the context of Chinese to Japanese translation, “verbatim translation” is not only a translation method known as literal translation，but also a translation concept that translation should be precise, meticulous, and faithful to the source text. Taking Ito Soheis translation of A Dream of Red Mansions as an examle, the author explores its characteristics of “verbatim translation”, and argues that “verbatim translation” is a ramification of Japanese exegetic pronunciation. It epitomizes the paradigm of “Japanese translation”, the formation and transformation of which are closely related to the background of the times, showing different features in different periods. Ito Soheis translation focuses on the source text, manifesting an obvious “verbatim translation” style. At the same time, he also lays emphasis on expressions to explicate the text. His choice of translation reflects both the influence of his times and the extent of his fusion with the source text and the target reader.

Using large data, this paper selects the keywords of papers published in Japanese Studies and Japanese Research from 2010 to 2017 for dissimilarity coefficient matrix and clustering analysis, and draws a hotspot knowledge map, pointing out that the overall trend of Japanese research in recent years is based on political research, mainly concentrated in the study of SinoJapanese relations. However, no systematic research paradigm has yet been formed. It is necessary to use interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research methods to grasp the relationship between things and discover new laws and methods in the future. At the same time, we should take the initiative to use data thinking to solve the theoretical and practical problems faced by Japanese research. We should also make original theoretical contributions based on cutting edge research on Japanese studies and our national needs so as to build a comprehensive, total factor Japanese research system.
