Japan has been buffeted by the twin forces of a more assertive China under Xi Jinping and a less predictable United States under Donald Trump. In response, the Japanese government has employed a variety of strategies to sustain the post-war rules-based order and to maintain the U.S.-Japan alliance – two key factors in Japan’s security and prosperity. What are the challenges and the prospects for Japan, the region and the alliance?
