Episode Details

Japans government is set to lift its long-standing arms export restrictions, opening opportunities for countries like Poland and the Philippines. This move aims to bolster Japans defense industry, which has been growing with a $60 billion budget this year. Companies like Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric are gearing up to meet international demand for military equipment. Poland and the Philippines see this as a chance to bolster their arsenals amid rising threats. Early deals could include used frigates to the Philippines and missile systems. This shift marks a significant revival for Japans defense sector and could lead to new supply chains less tied to Washington, positioning Tokyo for a bigger role on the global stage.
