Japan demands exemption from U.S. auto tariffs
-
for what?
As a deterrence against North Korea and also China. NK sees Japan as an enemy because Japan was a colonizer of the peninsula and Japan is allied with South Korea. And China has a territorial dispute with Japan and Japan is an ally of Taiwan.
Japan doesn’t have nukes, aircraft carriers or even bombers. While China has all of that and North Korea is building a nuclear arsenal. Japan’s own laws prevent them from building a full military force. They have what they call a Defense Force. Those laws were created when they were occupied by the US.
So they rely on the US for nuclear deterrence and support in case they do get attacked.
