Japan Rearmed

Modern Japan is not only responding to threats from North Korea and China but is also reevaluating its dependence on the United States, Sheila Smith shows.

Japonia moderna nu doar raspunde la amenintarile din Coreea de Nord si China, ci isi reevalueaza si dependenta de Statele Unite, arata Sheila Smith.
