The Yokosuka Council on Asia-Pacific Studies (YCAPS) and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) are pleased to announce the next event in the Community Conversations seminar series in the Yokosuka Community! This event will feature Dr. Shinji Yamaguchi.
How is China conducting cognitive domain operations and maritime gray zone operations? China has utilized non-military means such as psychological warfare and maritime paramilitary forces to achieve strategic and tactical goals. Most notably, the Xi regime has enhanced the use of such means through sweeping organizational reforms. Understanding these actions will provide a clearer view of the strategic challenges posed by China. Dr. Shinji Yamaguchi of the National Institute for Defense Studies (NIDS) will lead us in a discussion on this important regional challenge. Dr. Corey Wallace (Kanagawa University) will provide some expert commentary before we transition to general questions and open discussion.
*Please kindly note that this is an in-person event taking place in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It will not be streamed online.
