A new episode of IARI International Podcast explores the growing rivalry between Japan and China, a confrontation that is no longer limited to diplomacy but increasingly shaped by maritime security, industrial autonomy, and strategic deterrence.At the center of this dossier are Taiwan, Japan’s southwestern islands, and Tokyo’s evolving defense posture in the First Island Chain. The episode also examines Japan’s critical dependence on Chinese rare earths and how economic coercion may become a central instrument of geopolitical pressure.Through a data-driven and intelligence-based analytical approach, the episode outlines possible future scenarios, including a phase of managed hostility in which military deterrence and economic pressure become ordinary tools of competition.The core question is simple but decisive: can an advanced economy maintain deep commercial ties with a strategic rival while preparing for a potential escalation in one of the most sensitive theaters of the Indo-Pacific?Listen now to IARI International Podcast.
