A resolution expressing unwavering support for the United States-Japan alliance in response to political, economic and military pressure by the People's Republic of China.

This Senate resolution states the Senate's support for the alliance between the United States and Japan. It condemns the Chinese government's use of economic, military, and diplomatic pressure against Japan, following events in late 2025 such as travel advisories, a seafood import ban, coast guard activity near the Senkaku Islands, and military aircraft incidents. It praises Japan's opposition to efforts to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait by force, and Japan's plans to raise its defense spending. It also reaffirms the U.S. commitment under Article V of the U.S.-Japan security treaty and states that the Senkaku Islands fall within that treaty's scope. The resolution expresses the Senate's position and does not create new laws or spending.
