When will Japan be able to join the EU?

The new Japanese regime wants to change the long-standing foreign line of "leaving Asia and joining Europe" into a new line of "leaving the United States and joining Asia." Japan's desire to get rid of the United States and pursue its Asia strategy on its own may be aimed at strengthening Japan's financial position and its trend toward becoming a military power. “

Beginning in the early 80s, Japan carried out a new strategic exploration in order to change the bad image and international status of "economic giants and political dwarfs", and put forward the strategic slogan of realizing "political power", that is, in the "era of multilateral management", Japan should take economic strength as the backing, the establishment of a strong military force as the guarantee, diplomacy as a means, supplemented by the export of Japanese culture, and participate more in the decision of world policy, so that Japan will become a world political power and an important pole in the world political multipolarization.

There are profound, historical, and practical internal and external reasons for Japan's pursuit of the status of a political power: Japan's lack of a correct understanding of its history of aggression has led to the expansion of ultra-nationalist sentiments; Its "congenital deficiencies" in politics have prompted it to strive to become an "ordinary country"; The rapid increase in economic power has given it the material basis to seek the status of a political power; The changes in the international situation after the Cold War have provided favorable factors for it to seek the status of a political power. Since the early 80s, Japan has always regarded the pursuit of becoming a world political power as the most fundamental and important national development strategy.

The three major goals of Japan's political power strategy are: (1) to be on an equal footing with the United States and Europe; (2) leading the Asia-Pacific region; (3) Become a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Japan's quest to become a political power is not only the inevitable result of the development of its domestic political and economic situation, but also its adaptive response to changes in the international situation, especially the adjustment of US policy toward Japan.

Personally, I think it's hard to say, the suppression of Japan's worldwide activities by Asian countries and the support of the United States for him is a long-term antagonistic issue, and it is impossible to draw conclusions about what the final direction of the great powers will be, but it is not impossible to enter Europe, more than 200 years of industrial maturity, and the total economic output of European countries has been showing such a question all the time, whether Japan can enter the European Union, geographically speaking, Japan is far away in East Asia, If it wants to integrate with Europe, it will play a greater role in promoting its development, because it has few resources and is highly dependent on the world market, and from the perspective of the development of all mankind, Japan's accession to the European Union should be a good thing, but Japan, as a military sanctioning country, especially for Asian countries that were brutally abused by Japan during World War II, will certainly not agree, in short, it is still unlikely at present.

Big brother, you don't even know the geographical location, plus the European Union. Even if Japan leaves Asia, it will not be able to join Europe. That's next to the United States.

Brother: You misunderstand the concept of leaving Asia and joining Europe.

The concept of the European Union is the union of all the small and medium-sized countries of Europe into a confederation (excluding Russia).

Europe here does not mean joining the European Union, because Asia is a developing country except Japan, and after the war, Japan was single-handedly supported by the United States, and it is relatively close to European countries politically and economically.

It is impossible that the EU is inherently a country.

What Japan should join is the East Asian Alliance.

The moment China joined the AU!

The United States can't get in if it wants to, do you think Japan can?

How can it be added if it is not European, it is so far away from others

What we now call the European Union was born on November 1, 1993, when the Maastricht Treaty (Maastricht Treaty) came into force.

Germany is the founding country, and there is no such thing as "joining the EU".

The predecessor of the European Union was the European Community, which was formed by the merger of three organizations, the earliest of which was the European Coal and Steel Community (established in 1950).The Federal Republic of Germany is its founding country, and there is no such thing as "accession".

On March 25, 1957, West Germany became one of the six member states of the European Union.

After the reunification of Germany in 1990, Germany entered the European Union as a merger of East and West Germany.

As of May 2008, there were 27 Member States, which were:

France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, Denmark, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Malta, Cyprus, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria.

Joining the EU can boost the country's economy; But at the same time, their independence will be lost.

Therefore, it has to be carefully considered, and it must be recognized by the EU member states.

You have more questions about this than asking, and it is impossible to have an answer at all, and now that they have not entered, it can only show that the two sides have not reached an agreement on interests, and they still have to negotiate and settle the matter, and even they themselves do not know when they can reach an agreement.

Joining the EU is difficult, and you don't have to get in if you want to. Some countries have been negotiating for more than 10 years.

It's still a problem to get in, it's not that easy.
