announcing a human resources development plan for 5,000 people over the next three years.

"Our nation will grow with ASEAN members by promoting technical cooperation with them,"

In other words, Japan will continue to get trainee/migrant workers from this region.

Tokyo will also support efforts by each ASEAN member to digitalize infrastructure, enhance cybersecurity

In other words, Japan is expecting that more and more Japanese company can involved in high growth ASEAN economy, even many companies in Japan still use fax machine.

Just try showing the actual reality, most people don't like but that's the way it is. Especially with many media in Japan they just take official release the way it is, without any actual critical scrutiny.

Kishida just pledged American technology to ASEAN. Very thoughtful.

Showa mentality in action. Are these photo ops suppose to distract the Japanese public from the real issues ?

Japan is still living in her 1989s sweet dream. From Ryutaro Hashimoto to now Kishida era, Japanese diplomacy didn't change much although they are living in endangered high age society!

The ASEAN nations look to Japan, and see the developed, safe and stable democracy they all aspire to be.

Stay away from the influence of China and the ASEAN bloc will be just fine.

He can't/will not be able to fool ASEAN, his trip/attempts is nothing more than an Anti/preamp China move, nothing more.

China seeks regional (if not global) dominance. Most of the ASEAN members are very wary of China's expansion in the South China Sea, and they welcome Japan's military advancement as part of the US lead effort to prevent China from destabilizing the region. No amount of CCP propaganda can hide this reality.

Fortunately American technology isn't as sophisticated as they think it is .

I don't see anyone lining up for a Chinese designed or programmed smartphone in the West.

China seeks global balance not world dominance

That's a laugh. Is that what China is doing in the SCS? Balancing the Philippines out of their fishing grounds?

Japan’s new Militarism is making Japan less safer not more safer

On the contrary: since all China understands is missile count, it is making Japan more safer.

Right up until Japan decides to save Asian people White people again, correct? I love reading your uncritical, Japanophile posts. You do understand that pure Japanese people would never accept you as a Japanese person no matter how Japanese you feel because you have lived outside of Japan too long, correct?

Unfortunately, Japan is not a world leader anymore.Most other countries recognize this.

Then why is China promoting global polarization and helping to release other nations from colonization ?

That's a funny way to say promoting Russian colonization and Iranian terrorism. At least you got the promoting global polarization right.

How many military bases does China have around the world ?

At least one in Djibouti and their spy facility in Cuba. If China's concerns were more global they would have more military bases than the US at this point.

China seeks to be a world leader without the need to dominate

That's why they are pushing the Phillipines out their fishing grounds, right? That's why they insisted on being the director of BRICS, right?

The exact opposite of the west

China isn't going all over the world poking its nose into every countries business and telling them how to live or what democracy is all about

You're right, they are going all of the world funding dictatorships, extracting resources like a colonial power, and using debt traps to try to steal even more resources.
