The Sasakawa Peace Foundation's project
" Shaping the Pragmatic and Effective Strategy toward China" (2020-) aims to deter Chinese military adventurism, maintain a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region, continue the current economic prosperity of the United States and Japan, and guide China toward becoming a rules-oriented player in the region. The members of the project have discussed topics such as China's domestic politics and economy and future prospects, export control of sensitive technologies, the security environment in the East Asian region, and challenges to U.S.-Japan alliance cooperation. As a result of this research, we are now issuing policy proposal, "Shaping Pragmatic and Effective Strategy Toward China”.
