  • Hudson Institute Japan Chair Kenneth Weinstein joins the show to discuss why Japan is the United States’ key ally in Asia. Ken reviews Japan's political history, influential leaders, and regional realities to explain why the island nation is primed to step up to face the China challenge and to fulfill the vision first articulated by the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of a free and open Indo-Pacific.

    Foolish to ignore India who is far more capable of mounting a challenge to China in the next decade.

      India is certainly useful. India exports cheap labor to the world (millions of cheapest slave labor to the Middle East & few thousands more educated to the West). It is certainly good to have world's biggest slum on our side though.
      Could you please share how else can India contribute?

      @@breezeanonymous6034 appreciate it! Indian navy controls the andaman and nicobar and can mount a serious blockade in the malacca straits choking chinese energy and supply lines. Chinese economy will collapse if the blockade gets implemented. Thats why your dementia boss called modi and gave him all tech + weapons..

      @@singlendhot8628 I'm not Chinese or Indian. I find both of those countries to be deeply anti-west, anti-Christ and failed inferior systems in many ways. China is Han supremacy,I ndia is black supremacy. But it's good to have India on our side. World's biggest slum has its value too. In the end, both need Christ very badly.

    I'd be curious if he thinks Japan, or more specifically areas like Tokyo will become a hub for foreign workers at some point in the future.
    Japan has continually shown its ability to adapt and transform itself, I wonder if the society can continue to transform its attitude around immigration to maintain its current position in the world.

    Although many Japanese nowadays have a sense of caution toward China, I believe Japanese strongly want to keep friendly relationship with China. Anyway, we are prohibited to fight with other countries except for defense. Therefore, we may increase military powore for defense purpouse, but we will never use that proactively. We may be involved in logistical support, but who will directly confront with China will be not us but you.

    As usual, the US empire is obsessed with China or whoever it targets as the next enemy. And predictably, it’s looking to manipulate and use other countries to “counter” the target. Never mind what chaos, conflicts and disaster it may bring to the countries it intends to use.
    Such is the hubris and self-serving mindset of the empire. Nothing matters except the hegemonic power it wishes to preserve at all cost.
    You know, there is actually a better answer to the problem: rather than to “counter” someone, try accepting and working with someone. Try sharing power instead of keeping it away from everyone else. A novel notion - something all parents try to teach their kids starting at an early age.
