13.07.2025Taiwan's Role Defined, Tariffs' Path Set
The day's editorial priorities in Japan initially covered a Russian diplomatic meeting in North Korea. However, focus quickly shifted domestically to the sudden emergence of "foreigner policy" as a key political issue, linked to a growing trend of Japanese women marrying Korean men. Concurrently, a significant new international concern arose: reports of the U.S. urging clarity on Japan’s role in a potential Taiwan conflict. This security development played out alongside continued global trade anxieties, with nations entering a critical negotiation phase ahead of tariff implementations, stemming from President Trump's recently announced 30% duties on the EU and Mexico. Domestically, the market began factoring in adjustments to the Ishiba administration’s economic policies. Later in the day, evolving financial trends, including the rise of "finfluencers" and wealthy buyers turning to art as an inflation hedge, garnered attention. Throughout the period, warnings for an approaching typhoon persisted across East and North Japan.
