Keynote Speech by NPI Chairman Aso Taro (Summary) at the NPI and KAS Co-host Special Seminar "Economic Security: A German Perspective"
In the "National Security Strategy" announced in October 2022, the United States positioned China as the only competitor with both the intention to reshape the international order and capacity to do it and placed the highest priority on countering China not only militarily and diplomatically but also economically. Based on this context, economic security is also often discussed in terms of "U.S. versus China."
