Japan-India defense agreement, India-Vietnam joint training, China-Indonesia military agreement

As Japan and India continue various military agreements, Japan expands its air base through joint military exercises with Australia, India and Vietnam conduct joint army exercises in Africa, and move away from the US leadership to establish their own security system. Indonesia has a military agreement with China. has signed
Following the joint naval training, Japan and India conducted the first ever joint fighter jet training, and the Vietnam-India bilateral military exercise, VINBAX 2022, was held in Chandi Mandir, India for three weeks last year.
Australia acquired eight Virginia-class nuclear submarines from the United States, and Japan, in cooperation with the United States and Australia, is working on a split route for F-35 bombers and port expansion on Tinia Island, where the runway for the Hiroshima nuclear bomb was located.
Asia's burgeoning arms buildup and ongoing military exercises began in 2006 with the sharing of independent Asian countries' security assessments in response to China's efforts to expand airstrips and ports across South and East Asia, representing interlocking defense plans in the region. The New York Times reported on the 25th that an agreement is being made.
Leading the way in interlocking defense initiatives are Japan and India, which have followed deregulation measures to allow access to each other's bases for supplies and services and to encourage cooperation in military manufacturing.
Following the joint naval training this year, Japan and India conducted their first ever joint fighter training.
For decades, trade has been the focus, with Asia's rise making China and other regional manufacturing hubs the world's economic engines tying Europe and the US together, but now Asai's fears are rising as China and the US grow volatile strategic competition and diplomatic relations take a turn for the worst. It's growing.
"The balance of power is shifting very quickly and it's not just China," Shivshankar Menon, India's former national security adviser, told the NYT. "In times of change, there will be higher risks."
Borrowing his views, the NYT argues that Asia's security calculus will ultimately include one-man rule in militarized China with slowing economic growth, polarized politics in the United States with a growing debt economy, bold aggression by Russia and North Korea, and still-developing Indonesia and It pointed to the creation of a world order of unstable and nasty character fostered by India's demand for greater influence.
In Asia, the US is building a huge arms stockpile in Taiwan, government-led, creating a tough "hedgehog" to fend off a Chinese invasion, the Philippines expanding airstrips and ports to accommodate the largest US military presence in decades, and Malaysia He hopes that a stronger military with replacement purchases of Korean-made fighters as a substitute weapon will prevent China from going any further, but "these build-up reflects a decline in trust in the United States in other respects," he said. Capital and material support have been withdrawn, and many Asian governments doubt whether American forces will be able to adapt and contain a Chinese advance, fearful nightmares of overreacting to Chinese provocations, or fearful nightmares of an overreaction to Chinese provocations, or what American politics can create by giving up on retreat. There are concerns about it,” the NYT pointed out.
On the other hand, the AUKUS agreement, in which the United States and Britain support nuclear-powered submarines in Australia, has raised antipathy in Indonesia, leading to increased military cooperation with China.
Indonesia's Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto met with China's defense minister in January this year, and the two countries agreed to resume joint military exercises.
Later, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin visited Indonesia and proposed a deal to purchase US fighters, but an agreement was not reached.
China has already poured billions of dollars into helping Indonesia develop the world's largest nickel deposit and spur shipments of a COVID-19 vaccine, and has become a key partner in the country's infrastructure push, including building high-speed trains.
A press release for Men in Blue, a joint Vietnam exercise by the Ministry of Defense of India, “focused on deploying army sappers and medical teams in UN peacekeeping operations, and what made this exercise unique was the Vietnam People's Army (VPA). “The fact that Vietnam has chosen India for this honor speaks volumes about the value the two countries place on their mutual relationship,” he said.
The document continued, "Vietnam was the first country in South Sudan to deploy a contingent to UN peacekeeping operations, and India has a long and rich tradition of contributing to UN peacekeeping operations." It was built around the construction of a base in a remote African region,” and revealed that the next training for VINBAX would be held in Vietnam within 2023.
