Lindy Briefing

THE SIGNAL: Japan issued a megaquake advisory for its northern regions following a magnitude 7.6 earthquake that triggered tsunami warnings across the country. Japan's new leader is leveraging the country's strained relationship with China to strengthen diplomatic ties, notably with Taiwan, which has reciprocated with "sushi diplomacy."
THE FRICTION: While some sources emphasize Japan's "new clarity" on Taiwan as a strategic shift, others focus on the practical aspects of the relationship, such as economic support and cultural exchange, without explicitly framing it as a direct challenge to China. The extent to which technology can effectively address Japan's growing dementia crisis remains debated.
THE NOISE: The "Dogs in Kimonos" story, while charming, is a localized cultural event and unlikely to have significant geopolitical or economic impact. The headline about deported individuals seeking reunification with their children, while important, lacks specific details to assess its broader implications for Japanese immigration policy.
