Plenary Session Ⅱ
Geopolitics of East Asia: the Future of Japan-China Relations
As the year 2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, East Asia’s security landscape faces a set of challenges with continuing and unresolved tensions, while improvements can be seen in relations between some of the countries. There are signs of a thaw in Japan-China diplomacy, but the state of Japan-South Korea relations remains unsettling. Against this background, what should be Japan’s foreign policy priorities? How would PM Abe’s objectives of strengthening Japan’s security impact on the shifting balance of power in East Asia? The panel of experts from Japan, China and the U.S. will map out East Asia’s current geopolitical landscape and address key questions on regional security relations. (Duration: 57:49)
