Steve Yates examines Japan’s push to become a more “normal” nation, why China is fighting that effort, and what a stronger Japanese military could mean for American security, Indo-Pacific stability, and the future balance of power in Asia. Nation States with Yates helps you understand global events through the lens of America’s interests. Join Steve Yates, your personal national security advisor, for clear, practical analysis on the issues shaping America’s future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
