FROM A
DIFFERENT ANGLE by Kenneth Rijock >
Financial Crime Consultant, for World-Check >
Monitor Developments for Country Risk Adjustment on Japan >
The Government of Japan has announced that it is posting 100 soldiers to Yonaguni, the westernmost of the Ryukyu island chain, an island only 100 km from Taiwan, in the East China Sea. This comes at a time when relations with China have been affected by Japan's detention of a ship's captain whose vessel rammed a Japanese Coast Guard ship near an island claimed by both Japan and China in the region. That incident briefly resulted in China freezing the export of critical heavy metals shipments to Japan. Should this latest Japanese action be interpreted as hostile by China, there could be untoward economic consequences, which generally affect the assessment of country risk.
Whether this new action by Japan reflects an emerging new Japanese national foreign policy is unknown, but bankers whose clients have extensive ongoing commercial interests in Japan should begin to monitor news of issues of sovereignty in the South China Sea, East China Sea and Yellow Sea, as they may impact not only country risk for Japan, but for Vietnam and South Korea as well.
