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.

HKFJ strongly condemns FCC's interference in HK affairs: Firmly opposes external plots to destabilise HK The Hong Kong Federation of Journalists (HKFJ) issued a statement on Aug 14, noting that it has taken note of a recent factually inaccurate statement by the Foreign Correspondents' Club, Hong Kong (FCC).

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 | Dialogue with Mr. Yukio Hatoyama: Japan's former PM shares his heart with China Before interviewing former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, I contacted a friend living in Japan to ask what public sentiment towards Mr. Hatoyama is like there today. He mentioned two things. First, during the period when Hatoyama was in power, Japan was in the midst of a broad downturn in its economy—many things he wanted to do could not be carried out. Second, today's Japanese economy seems to have returned to a similar situation again, and right-wing forces are taking advantage of the moment.

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. With sold-out crowds and over 100,000 attendees, the event drove a vibrant mega-event economy, boosting tourism across the city. From humanoid robots at the opening ceremony to smart stadium management, innovation was on full display. In the South Stand, fans in elaborate costumes embodied the Sevens' carnival spirit. International spectators mingled freely, cheering for the game itself rather than national divides, highlighting HK's role as a global connector.
