Current events. USA


On April 6th 2014,  American Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the USA will send missile defense ships to Japan for protecting against North Korea's missile. 


Japan is  currently worried about two things; missiles of North Korea, because Japan doesn't know when missiles will attack Japan.  North Korea also has been threatening Japan about using their new nuclear power. 

Secondly, Japan is worried about what China would do to Japan, because the relationship between the two countries is really getting worse since fighting about Senkaku Islands. The Senkaku islands are islands known in China as Diaoyu island in East China sea.

The two extra ships would make the total number of the war ships in Japan: seven.
Mr. Hagel went to China on 7th of February to talk about how to use their authority, Deployment of military power, and he wants to tell clearly, how friendly the relationship of Japan and the US.  The US will deployment missile in Alaska too.

In February, Hagel made an announcement about missile defense expansion in Asia especially in Japan.
Hagel talked about China doesn't respect other east asian countries. It is very similar to Russia's way of treating Ukraine. He compared.

 Hagel said "You cannot... redefine boundaries and violate territorial integrity and sovereignty of nations by force, coercion and intimidation, whether it's in small islands in the Pacific or large nations in Europe,"
