Bernice Kissinger, Senior Fellow with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. "In the face of rising competition from the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and others, Japanese firms are increasingly diversifying their manufacturing processes by building global value chains and acquiring foreign companies. While Japan has traditionally relied on imports for much of its defence equipment, in recent years, there has been a competitive effort to develop indigenous defence capabilities from Japan’s existing industrial base. The Japanese national and regional governments and private sector have increased investment in research and development (R&D) initiatives in defence technologies and dual-use applications of commercial products. We have also seen greater support for enhanced R&D cooperation between Japan, the US and Australia by the three defence ministers at the recent Trilateral Defence Minister’s Meeting (TDMM). "
