Abstract:In the year 2016，Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party（LDP） has secured the dominance of Japanese Diet by wining the Senate election after a lapse of twenty-seven years，which for the first time facilitates the procedure of revising Japanese constitution，with constitutional revisionists as the majority of the Senate. By revising the party constitution and extending the term of the party president，LDP has paved the way for Shinzo Abe to be elected as president after 2018 and maintain the long-term administration. In 2016，Japan implemented the new security bills，extending the peace-keeping mission overseas of Japan Self-Defense Force（JSDF），promoting the diplomacy of maritime channels，the military diplomacy as well as its regional diplomacy through strengthening relations with South and Russia. However，in the context of “the Duterte Shock” and “the Trump Shock”，Japan has also encountered a series of frustration. In 2016，there is a growing trend for the dual characteristics for Sino-Japanese relations，with both the improvement of bilateral relations and new changes of conflicts and friction particularly in issues of East and South China Seas. Japan’s intervention in South China Sea in a high profile has made the bilateral relations even more complicated. In 2017，faced with great uncertainty of international situation，Japan will insist on its national strategy of becoming a great power and the strategic transformation with breakthroughs in political and military issues，in order to improve its self-defense capability and independency of diplomacy. Meanwhile，there will be also adjustment for Japan in terms of its economic strategy overseas，which includes multilateral and regional cooperation in East Asia.
