It's an idle question that I wish I have more Japanese insight to inform me about. But I've been curious about how Japan would fare both domestically and internationally for the next 5 to 30 years. From what I see is that Japan, or at least the current Abe administration is trying to push some kind of domestic reform in order to prepare Japan to enter China's new imperialism game and go wild, since I see his effort to revive Imperialist ideology as a way to mobilize Japanese public into nationalist hivemind the way mainlanders are today. Will this pass?

How about their geopolitical outlook, especially with the decline of America under Trump as well as the rise of RCEP and Jakarta Concord initiatives that has shifted global balance of power and geopolitical rules? Will they see the benefit of balancing their economic ties to the US with that of Indian Ocean Rim and Global South?
