======================================
Aimed against N Korea, but likely to heat up Cold War 2.0 agaisnt China. The statement that "the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands, which have been a matter of controversy with China, are Japanese territory. Obama thus became the first US president to have “overtly stated that the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands fall within the purview of the US-Japan security treaty,” the Diplomat reported."
With it, remarkably Taiwan is left out in this agreement, and US-Taiwan secirity agreement is of questionable power.
