Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that President Biden's visit to Japan will strengthen ties between the two countries and counter China's rising power. However, this is not entirely accurate as there are no specific agreements or plans announced during the visit that directly address China's ambitions.
The article states 'During a day of meetings, the two leaders will announce new plans designed to confront the far-reaching ambitions of China.'

The article states 'President Biden is hosting Japan’s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, for a state visit as part of a broad diplomatic outreach.' However, this statement implies that the purpose of the visit is solely to strengthen ties between the US and Japan. In reality, there are other objectives such as countering China's rising power.

Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that America's allies are trying to Trump-proof their policies when the actual statement made by Kishida Fumio was that if Russia prevailed in Ukraine then it would send a wrong signal to Asia and lead to deterrence issues for Japan. Secondly, the article mentions AUKUS as an example of how America's allies are trying to protect relationships from Trump but fails to mention that Australia is wary of needlessly provoking China with this alliance. Lastly, the article states that there are limits to how deep the ties between America and its Asian allies can become due to domestic political realities in Japan which makes it difficult for them to enter into new treaty alliances with mutual defence requirements but fails to mention that other countries such as South Korea have similar issues.
