Subject
Japan's foreign policy strategy.
Significance
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has changed core structures and frameworks within which Japan's foreign and defence policies are made. These changes can be seen as responses to the rise of China.
Impacts
Japan will use aid to counter China's influence, competing on quality and a record of delivering on promises.
Laws passed under Abe could allow much greater defence cooperation with Australia and India.
India is a future partner in Japan's developing relationship with Africa to compete with China’s Africa strategy.
