Opinion | Bowing to war criminals while rearming: Japan's hypocritical 'peace' pledge On August 15, 2026, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sent a ritual offering to Yasukuni Shrine. Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi, joined by other cabinet members and senior Liberal Democratic Party officials, paid their respects in person. After the visit, Koizumi claimed he was mourning "heroic souls" and renewing a pledge never to engage in war again. The entire region knows what Yasukuni Shrine represents. Calling them "heroic souls" twists history. Bowing before them and then speaking of peace is pure contradiction.

Watch This | Under the name of defense lies offense On August 4, Japan's Ministry of Defense released its 2026 Defense White Paper, the first under the Takaichi Sanae government. At nearly 600 pages, it is the longest edition ever published. Far from a routine security update, the document marks a deliberate step in Japan's transformation from a postwar pacifist state into a heavily armed forward base serving American containment strategy against China, dismantling postwar restraints and deepening integration into a US-led military architecture.

Deepline | The root of American selfishness: Institutional failures behind domestic chaos and hegemonic diplomacy The selfish and high‑handed behaviour of the United States in areas of livelihood, immigration and foreign policy is rooted in deep‑seated institutional flaws. Politically, the separation of powers has degenerated into a tool for partisan warfare, rendering governance ineffective. Economically, financial capitalism has exacerbated wealth inequality, leaving society deeply fractured. Diplomatically, fuelled by money politics and populism, unilateralism and hegemonism have intensified, continually undermining the global order.

Journalist's View | Five observations from the Hong Kong Sevens at 50 Marking its 50th anniversary, the Hong Kong Sevens once again proved it is far more than a rugby tournament.
