Containment of China by 'Takaichi-Trump Alliance' Monthly 'Seiron' May issue, released April 1st

The May issue of the monthly 'Seiron,' a forum magazine questioning Japan's course (published by Sankei Shimbun Co., Ltd.), was released on April 1st. The biggest highlight is a thorough discussion exploring how Japan should confront the drastically changing international situation after 'Takaichi's victory' in the general election. Ryusho Kadota and Toyohiro Yuki propose the containment of China through a strong Japan-U.S. alliance, the 'Takaichi-Trump Alliance.' In terms of diplomacy and security, Yoshihisa Komori and Yo Iiyama detail the reality of a 'situation threatening Japan's existence' caused by the tense situation in Iran. Additionally, a special contribution by author Makoto Shiina, an account of his extreme polar experience, is included. Furthermore, essays delving into the depths of the political world are featured, such as Eitaro Ogawa's proposal regarding constitutional revision, an interview with House of Representatives Constitutional Review Committee Chairman Keiji Furuya, and a monologue by Kenta Izumi, who is seeking a comeback.
