Cold war, Again

Context:

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida chose India to unveil Japan’s Indo-Pacific strategy.

About Indo pacific strategy of Japan:

Free and Open Indo Pacific (FNOIP): Japan has insisted that Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP’s) contemporary relevance goes beyond regional security concerns, and it will be the defining feature of the new global order.
Curbing china: While the ostensible focus of the strategy would be to promote a FOIP, the initiative is aimed at “curbing China’s growing regional assertiveness,” Japan Times reported.
Rules-based international order: The plan is designed to maintain a rules-based international order across the Indo-pacific region.

Why to curb rise of China:

Clash of world orders: China intends to undermine the existing liberal global order and replace it with a more hegemonic and less liberal order dominated by it.
Violating national boundaries: China disregarded sovereign national boundaries in the name of historical claims and disputed the mandates of international agencies.
Conception of the universe as tianxia: Traditional Chinese wisdom looks at the conception of the universe as tianxia — everything under the heavens with China as the central authority and all other states as tributaries. It is this hegemonic and authoritarian order that Kishida wants the world to reject.
