State leaders of the United States, Japan and South Korea will meet at Camp David this Friday, and they're expected to launch a series of joint initiatives, especially on technology and defense, according to senior U.S. administration officials.

Prior to the Camp David meeting, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a virtual meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi and South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin on Monday, according to the U.S. State Department. 

It's highly likely the three sides discussed arrangements about the upcoming meeting, according to reports by Reuters. The news agency citing a U.S. official revealed that the Camp David meeting is unlikely to produce a formal security arrangement, but they will agree to a mutual understanding about regional responsibilities and set up a three-way hotline to communicate in times of crisis.

A joint statement between the countries will also be issued, which will conclude some language relating to China's Taiwan region, the U.S. official said.

Washington has already had defense arrangements with both Tokyo and Seoul separately, but experts say the U.S. wants those two countries to work closer together to strengthen U.S. interests in the Pacific region.

"Strengthening the Japan-U.S.-South Korea alliance will only further escalate tensions in East Asia, which is very dangerous," Kumiko Haba, a Japanese Professor of International Politics at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo told China Media Group (CMG) recently.

Responding to the strengthening military collaboration among the U.S., South Korea and Japan in the Asia Pacific region, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has pointed out that state-to-state military cooperation should be conducive to regional peace and stability, and should not target any third party or harm the interests of any third party.

It also said that China firmly opposes countries outside of the Asia Pacific region interfering in Asian affairs, and South Korea and Japan should refrain from doing anything that undermines mutual trust among regional countries and damages regional peace and stability.

Besides, China has made it clear that Taiwan is an alienable part of China. It said that the Taiwan question is at the heart of China's core interests, and is the number one red line that must not be crossed, and that any other country should not interfere in China's internal affairs.

As a response to a recent "transit" trip in the U.S. by Lai Ching-te, a politician with Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson reemphasized on Sunday that China firmly opposes any form of official exchange between the U.S. and the Taiwan region, and firmly opposes any visit by "Taiwan independence" separatists to the U.S. in any name or under any pretext.

As a response to the intensification of geopolitical rivalry and tensions, China announced the Global Security Initiative (GSI) during the Boao Forum for Asia annual conference held in April 2022.

And in February this year, the Foreign Ministry released a concept paper which includes commitments covering peaceful resolution of differences and disputes "through dialogue and consultation," and the maintenance of "security in both traditional and non-traditional domains."

The GSI initiative aims to promote durable peace and development in the world, and calls on the whole international community to address complex global security challenges with the spirit of solidarity and a win-win mindset.
