“Washington has no greater friend in the world than Japan — or so the political establishments in both the United States and Tokyo would like to believe. Not everyone is playing along, though. Kan Ito, a graduate of the University of Tokyo and a well-known public intellectual in Japan, has been the bete noire of America’s Japan-hands — the imperial factotums who keep Japan subservient to Washington’s strategic interests. Ito’s articulate, pungent criticism of American foreign policy often exposes inconvenient truths about U.S.-Japan relations, truths based on Ito’s more than 30 years in America.” (11/06/24)
