Tokyo: The United States and Japan on Friday voiced strong concern about China`s growing might in unambiguous terms and pledged to work together against attempts to destabilise the region.
The comments from the two allies, in a joint statement that followed a virtual meeting of their foreign and defence ministers, highlight how deepening alarm about China - and growing tension over Taiwan - have put Japan`s security role in focus.
The ministers expressed concerns that China`s efforts "to undermine the rules-based order" presented "political, economic, military and technological challenges to the region and the world", according to their statement.
