President Obama’s 10 day tour of Asia’s four largest democracies showed a continued commitment to engage Asia, even if difficult Tea Party politics at home might derail the practicalities of increased regional engagement.

Japan has faced a number of ‘D’ challenges throughout 2010 that will be increasingly difficult to handle in 2011 unless they are addressed properly and quickly. Time is not by any means a friend in this. The ‘D’ challenges that Japan currently faces include Deflation, De-population or Demographic changes, public Deficit and Debt, Dilution of the stock market, De-leveraging, Dollar Depreciation, Defense and DPJ (Democratic Party of Japan) governance.

The 2010 APEC meeting in Yokohoma ended one month ago but the Japanese media is still discussing whether or not Japan should join the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).
