The addition of helicopter carrier "Izumo," which specializiruetsya mainly on anti-submarine missions, marks a rare manifestation of the naval forces of Japan in the context of growing tensions in Asia and underlines the intention of the administration to trump support for a joint military presence in the region. Military exercise "Malabar" will be held on a rotational basis in the Western Pacific ocean and Indian ocean, as Japan has become a regular participant since 2007.
China has already expressed its dissatisfaction with the doctrine. In December edition "Global mysteries", said that the exercises "will jeopardize peace and stability in the region."
The teachings of 2017 are taking place during the tense situation in the Asian region.

North Korea said the test was conducted by the military unit tasked to destroy the American military bases in Japan.
President Donald trump and Secretary of state Rex Tillerson also criticized the actions of China in the South China sea.
