Referring to Chinese and Russian joint bomber flights near Japan in May, Hayashi said stronger military coordination between China and Russia was emerging as a security concern. Hayashi said "ongoing unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion in the East and South China Seas" were of growing concern and referenced mounting China-Taiwan tension by saying that stability across the Taiwan Strait was of "extreme importance."
