Bill > SRes547

This resolution strongly affirms the United States-Japan alliance in response to increasing political, economic, and military pressure from China. The resolution condemns China's actions, including economic coercion, diplomatic aggression, and military provocations towards Japan, such as sending coast guard vessels near the Senkaku Islands, imposing trade restrictions, and conducting military exercises near Japanese territory. It specifically commends Japan for maintaining regional stability, resisting attempts to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, and increasing defense spending. The resolution reaffirms the United States' commitment to the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, explicitly stating that the Senkaku Islands are covered under the treaty's Article V mutual defense provisions. Additionally, the resolution praises Japan's efforts to de-escalate tensions despite continuous Chinese provocations and stands in solidarity with the Japanese government and people against China's harassment and attempts to escalate tensions in the Indo-Pacific region.
