Join Shigeru Kitamura, former National Security Advisor of Japan, and Hoover Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster, as they discuss Japan’s transformation into a leader in economic statecraft, how democratic nations can secure strategic autonomy in critical technologies and supply chains, and the future of US-Japan cooperation in confronting coercion, cyber threats, and growing competition in the Indo-Pacific.
The conversation explores Japan’s evolving security strategy in response to growing challenges in the Indo-Pacific, including China’s military modernization, economic coercion, and tensions surrounding Taiwan and the East China Sea.
