TOKYO -- Half a year after lifting its self-imposed ban on arms exports, Japan is receiving inquiries about its weapons and other military technologies from around the world.
The new "three principles of the transfer of defense equipment and technology," adopted in April, have opened the door to Japan's arms exports and joint weapons development with other countries. The government is now trying to figure out how to respond to emerging demand for Japanese weapons systems, which involve a wide range of secret technologies.
