The panel addresses the flaws and victories of the Republican Party in the midterm elections. Whitaker attributes the losses of Republicans to poor communication of messages. The Democrats were tirelessly campaigning and pressing the abortion issue when Republicans left room for improvement in emphasizing the issue of the economy. The Republicans still emerged victorious in the House of Representatives, but the Japanese media solely communicated a theme of loss for the Republicans. The mainstream media’s inaccurate messaging is another obstacle Republicans have to overcome, and Republicans need to take control of their own narrative.

Representatives of GETTR and The European Conservative comment on free speech in social media. The Left relies on companies like Apple and Facebook to maintain a stranglehold on American culture. Big tech is joining academia and legacy media as a communications branch of the Democrat Party. Conservatives respectfully allowed space for the expression of liberal ideas but in return, the Left suppresses conservative thought. Leftists are looking to China as a role model for imposing a surveillance state and indoctrinating citizens with communist ideology. Thus, communism and globalism is the common enemy of conservatives around the world. To fight them, conservatives need to create alternatives, such as GETTR, to Leftist organizations and unite together in events like CPAC.

The panel celebrates the achievements of Shinzo Abe, Former Prime Minister of Japan, in light of his tragic assassination. Prime Minister Abe revolutionarily improved national security and brought stability to Japan after World War II. He introduced prosperous economic policy and innovative diplomatic methods to a rebuilding Japan. Abe really led Japan’s rise as a formidable force in the free world on the global stage. As a person, he was remarkably intelligent and personable. He accepted and considered many and diverse opinions. He was known for his charisma, humor, and calm and relaxing presence. Even young people were drawn to his magnanimous personality. World leaders alike, such as President Trump and Vladimir Putin, admired Prime Minister Abe. The assassination of the former prime minister brought great sorrow to those who knew him, but it awakened the current prime minister and prompted him to take a stronger position on national security and foreign policy.

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.

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.
