You read about them here first
Ever since 1897 The Japan Times has reported daily in English on people, places and goings-on in and beyond this country. During those 116 years, our articles have often included information that never made it into the Japanese-language press — as in 1934, when the Society Page carried an interview with a German journalist named Richard Sorge — a full seven years before he made headlines having been exposed as a Soviet spy; or the routine report we ran on a young woman's victory in a small tennis tournament in 1955 — some four years before she became the new Crown Princess (now Empress) Michiko.

Avoid the security dilemma in Asia
Military modernization is a constant process. Securing the state and protecting its citizens are the first tasks of any government. Militaries are vital to achieving these objectives, even though they are not the only means for doing so. Moreover, wise governments recognize that security is not absolute and that actions taken by one state can create insecurity in neighbors and potential adversaries, triggering an ugly spiral that can destabilize a region. This "security dilemma" is a staple of international relations theory — and increasingly appears to describe developments in Northeast Asia.
