08.08.2025 ⇢ Tariff Course Shifts, History's Echo Deepens
⌹Japanese media initially reported a significant shift in US-Japan trade relations on August 8, detailing the US correction of tariff calculations on Japanese goods, which was expected to lower effective rates and lead to reimbursements. This provided a contrast to prior days' anxieties over reciprocal tariffs. However, as the day progressed, the focus evolved to underscore persistent uncertainty regarding the timing of automobile tariff reductions, posing ongoing risks for businesses. Concurrently, a new editorial priority emerged with discussions deepening on understanding Japan's "history of perpetration," linking historical revisionism to contemporary issues, and later connecting to reports of the Prime Minister forgoing his August 15th Yasukuni Shrine visit. Additionally, the planned launch of Google's generative AI search mode in Japan gained prominence, signaling a potential shift in information dissemination.
