Admin’s Note

I believe that the recent request from the United States for cooperation from Japan carries significant implications for regional security. Especially in light of the sensitive situation regarding Taiwan, questions arise about the role Japan will play. While there are certainly many concerns, like those expressed by Chako, it is important to remain calm and consider the international situation carefully. I want to continue paying attention to this issue moving forward.
