The Asia-Pacific is a contested and volatile region. Japan and China are two of the main security actors in the region, but tensions and lack of cooperation between the two countries still prevent the development of a concerted approach to security and stability. Two prominent scholars from the National Institute for Defense Studies (NIDS) in Tokyo will come to the Institute, in order to present the main findings of their annual report on China. A discussion will follow, including a European perspective on the situation.
