This panel at CPAC Japan tackles the issue of international affairs in the Asian region. Japan is facing the brink of a crisis with North Korea and China closing in on the island in their military exercises and with China advancing in its nuclear weapon development. Japan is concerned not just for itself but for Taiwan as well whose geographic location is central in shipping routes to Japan. In reverse, Japan presents one of the greatest, if not the greatest, threats to Chinese power in Asia. Japan is militarily well-endowed and previous prime ministers, especially Prime Minister Abe, established systems that strengthened Japan against foreign adversaries. Whitaker urges Japan to remember that they have a friend in the United States. The United States can support Japan by distancing ourselves from China. We can break our manufacturing relationship with China and rely more on our trustworthy trade partners like Japan. We should do so for our own sake as well in light of China’s repeated theft of American military, agricultural, and technological information. Together, the United States and Japan can hinder the expansion of Chinese influence and military threats on Asia and the world.

The panel encourages a reduction in taxes in Japan in the United States for the benefit of the economy and the individual prosperity of Americans and Japanese. Both countries are recovering from the economic damage of the pandemic and are overcoming high inflation. They are a facing a dilemma between the need to increase defense spending but also the need to lower taxes to revamp the economy. Chang indicates that war is coming at any moment and defense spending is non-negotiable regardless of cost. Defense spending is even more imperative in Japan since North Korean and Chinese missiles have been launched intentionally near to Japan. The panelists urge economic measures against China as well. Chang demands a policy of reciprocity that only accepts Chinese products if China accepts American products.

CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp thanks Jay Aeba for organizing CPAC Japan and initiating international CPAC events. CPAC Japan 2022 was especially important for addressing the threats from China and North Korea. The United States needs the event as well to see that people are standing up to these foreign threats though our administration is not.

A coalition of international representatives speak on a panel at CPAC Japan 2022. Eduardo Verástegui shares that he was inspired to start CPAC Mexico by his desire to improve his homeland and give his people a place where they can find opportunity and success. CPAC gives a strong and articulate voice to Mexican conservatives, who, Verástegui believes, comprise most the country. Miklós Szánthó explains that CPAC Hungary was significant as the first European CPAC. Hungary is the center of the conservative movement in Europe, and the event was a rallying point for conservatives across the continent. Gordon Chang thanks the moderator of the panel and organizer of CPAC Japan, Jay Aeba, for proposing the idea of an international CPAC to Chairman Matt Schlapp and Executive Director Dan Schneider. Without Aeba, none of these international CPACs would have been possible.

Yuichiro Tamaki, Japanese Representative, speaks on the state of the Japanese economy. He calls for economic stimulation. He proposes lower taxes to encourage consumption along with a new tax system that will promote corporate investing. He also believes in investing in human capital through initiatives like education. Japan is lacking in natural resources and their greatest resource is really its people. Thus, Tamaki argues that the government should invest in its people. Overall, Tamaki desires increased government spending to bolster both the economy and national defense. Increased tax revenue even with lower taxes and selective government spending will support an enlarged federal budget.

Matt Whitaker shares his thoughts on the plan for the free world to succeed in the future against the tyrannical regimes of North Korea and China. Whitaker advances a peace through strength attitude. That attitude is achieved not just through military force but also through economics and alliances. The close friendship between the United States and Japan is one of those trade relationships and alliances that can defeat our adversaries. Whitaker believes that CPAC is strengthening that bond through its CPAC Japan event.
