The recent improvement in Sino-Japan relations might give the impression that Japan-Taiwan ties are no longer in fashion. But this is far from being the case. Significant behind-the-scenes efforts aimed at maintaining and strengthening the quasi-alliance of informal political and military ties between Tokyo and Taipei are ongoing, and these efforts are underlined by the support of the two countries' common ally the US. The development in the Japan-US alliance and MOFA's increasingly realistic attitude toward China and accommodation with Taiwan indicate that within the US-Taiwan-Japan "virtual" trilateral alliance, both US-Japan ties and Japan-Taiwan ties are making some progress. Of course, optimism must be restrained, and many obstacles remain to a stronger "virtual" trilateral alliance. While Japan-Taiwan relations continue to be overshadowed by official Japan-China relations under "strategic reciprocity," common values of democracy, market economy and the rule of law between Japan and Taiwan would continue to justify the idea of a coalition of Asia-Pacific democracies.
