July 23, 2020
While other studies have noted China's influence in Japan is limited, this new report seeks to explain why that is the case. The report considers the malign and benign tactics used by the Chinese Communist Party in Japanese society; evaluates the objectives and effectiveness of these tactics; considers the factors that can explain Japan's passive and active resilience toward foreign influence; and describes how Japan has sought to promote its own global image.
