TOKYO -- Prime Minister Fumio Kishida gingerly climbed atop a Type 10 battle tank, paused to catch his breath, and haltingly eased himself into his seat.
Japan's commander in chief was taken on some sharp turns at speed across a muddy field at the Ground Self-Defense Force's Camp Asaka, on the northwestern edge of Tokyo. While Kishida may have looked uncomfortable on his brief spin in November, the fast-changing regional security landscape may be even more daunting for him and other policymakers in the country.
