The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, promoted by China, has garnered much interest
around the world as a symbol of increasing Chinese influence. Whether Japan ultimately
joins the bank or not, its experience in working with the long-established Asian

in the region.

Abe's Groundbreaking U.S. Visit
By Toshihiro Nakayama
Nippon.com

While many pundits have pronounced Prime Minister Abe's recent visit to the United
States a qualified success, Nakayama Toshihiro argues that it broke new ground-not
through the kind of personal rapport prized by previous Japanese prime ministers
 in their dealings with U.S. presidents but through a shared commitment to the kind
of frameworks needed to build a new global partnership.

Economics Beat with Tobias Harris
Japan's Pension Problems
By Tobias Harris
Sasakawa USA Economics, Trade and Business Fellow
On June first, Shinzo Abe was forced to confront a problem with the management of
Japan's pension system, something he dealt with in 2007 during his last stint as
 Prime Minister. The Japan Pension Service announced that, as the result of a computer
virus, personal data, including names, birthdates, pension numbers and addresses
 for more than 1.25 million individuals were accidentally made public. This revelation
could be a serious political problem for Abe at a time when he can ill afford it.
His government is already engaged in a major parliamentary fight over revisions 
to Japan's national security laws and preparing for the potentially controversial
decision to restart a pair of offline nuclear reactors later in the summer.
