In this SCMP op-ed, I argue that the Philippines security-first approach, and increased military alignment with external powers like Japan is threatening ASEAN's neutrality and centrality.

In my recent livestream, we explored how Japan is repositioning itself in a rapidly transforming global order, one where traditional Western dominance is no longer the sole organizing force.

From Sanae Takaichi’s decisive electoral victory to Japan’s evolving role across the Indo-Pacific, the discussion unpacked how Tokyo is recalibrating its strategy: balancing alliances, economic priorities, and multilateral engagement across Asia-Pacific and ASEAN.

We examined how Japan is adapting its foreign policy amid shifting US influence, and whether this moment opens space for deeper cooperation with China, stronger ties with ASEAN, and more inclusive regional frameworks focused on shared prosperity rather than zero-sum rivalry.

The conversation also looked inward at Japan’s historical memory, its postwar pacifist constitution, and what lessons from WWII and Europe’s security evolution (including parallels with Germany) can offer for building a resilient yet peaceful security architecture.

Beyond geopolitics, we discussed society and strategy:

• Japan’s integration of foreign workers
• Multicultural governance and long-term economic vitality
• The shift from economic engagement to comprehensive security partnerships in Southeast Asia
• How regional coexistence models can inform Japan’s future path
At its core, this episode asked one central question:

👉 How can Japan contribute to stability, dialogue, and cooperation in a post-Western world without abandoning its pacifist foundations?

If you’re interested in Asia-Pacific security, Japan-ASEAN relations, or the future of regional order, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

In this piece for the VSCS, I argue that the South China Seas Arbitration ruling has only compounded the problem. The way forward demands focus on diplomacy , economic ties and collective security -- not relitigating the past.
