#P2049Live | Randy Schriver from Project 2049 Inst: The real missing piece is economic cost imposition…We need to build out a little more what a cost imposition strategy could look like and display that in a way that is credible to have maximum deterrent impact.

#P2049Live | Yuka C Koshino | 越野 結花 from @iiss_org: The summit is also expected to give Tokyo and Japanese industries some reassurance that Washington is interested in seeking greater coordination with Japan on economic, security, and industrial policies.

#P2049Live | Yuka C Koshino | 越野 結花 from @iiss_org: This summit is a really important opportunity to showcase that the two countries are further stepping up their cooperation, to send strong signals to China that the alliance is ever stronger and that their deterrence is credible.

#P2049Live | Yuko Mukai from Project 2049 Inst: Why is Japan doing this now? The South China Sea, East China Sea—where the Senkaku Islands are—and Taiwan Strait are not separate issues. They are the clear target of Chinese ambitions.

#P2049Live | Yuko Mukai from Project 2049 Inst: The outcome of this visit will demonstrate Japan’s more proactive role in security, especially in the Indo-Pacific.

#P2049Live | 13th Dep. SecState Hon #RichardArmitage : Mr. Abe is probably looking down with a great deal of satisfaction…What is happening to the nation has to be edifying to Abe, as the initial father of a free, open, and now secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific.

#P2049Live | 13th Dep. SecState Hon. #RichardArmitage : Japan has not seen populism pop up in a major way. This is attractive for other nations...to see how they have been able to glide forward as a democracy without succumbing to the siren call of populism.

#P2049Live | 13th Dep. SecState Hon. #RichardArmitage : The distance that Japan has come from the year 2000 to now is a light-years of difference. Now the only question is a matter of how much urgency Japan can inject in the decisions and direction that Japan is already heading.
