Dens of spies: Why has Japan been easy prey for Russian espionage and what is Tokyo doing about it?

本文 Postwar rules have limited the state’s ability to collect intelligence and prosecute illegal operatives. Yet the government of Sanae Takaichi is now strengthening Japan’s intelligence and counterintelligence capabilities.

For almost eight decades, Japan has arguably offered one of the most welcoming environments for foreign spies in the democratic world. In many circumstances, espionage itself is not technically a criminal offence. However, Japan is now moving rapidly to develop both its own intelligence-gathering capacity and its ability to counter foreign espionage.

Recent reports suggest that Japan has become a base for Russian operatives seeking to obtain technology for the Kremlin’s war against Ukraine. These reports have emerged at a time when Tokyo is undertaking its most significant postwar reassessment of the country’s security services.

How did Japan become such an easy target for foreign intelligence agents? And can the country now address the weaknesses that made it vulnerable?
