Recent Findings
01 JSDF deployed its first counter-strike capabilities on 31 March 2026 — Type 25 SSM (1,000 km) and HVGP marking a fundamental departure from Japan's post-war denial posture.
02 JJOC established March 2025 as Japan's first unified operational command; JS Chokai modified to carry Tomahawk cruise missiles as of March 2026.
03 Record ¥9.04T ($58B) FY2026 defense budget sets 12th consecutive spending record, but set against 240% debt-to-GDP ratio creates acute fiscal ceiling risk by FY2027–2031.

Recent Findings
01 NEG - ACH matrix scoring places Coercion / Gray-zone escalation short of invasion as the leading hypothesis at +64.2, significantly ahead of direct escalation scenarios.
02 NEG - CMC purge of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli (Jan 2026) has degraded PLA command cohesion. Eurasia Group assesses Beijing has "set aside invasion for at least two years."
03 POS - Trump's ~$13B Taiwan arms sale delay ahead of May 14–15 Trump-Xi summit creates a discrete window of reduced deterrence credibility.
