A former high-ranking official of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), who is visiting Japan, attended a meeting on the theme of economic security held in Tokyo, and Japan and Japan to oppose China, which is strengthening hegemonic movements. He suggested that the United States should work together to improve competitiveness in areas such as semiconductors and communication standards.
Attending the meeting was Richard Marshall, a former senior official of the NSA in the United States, who specializes in cyber security.
Among them, Mr. Marshall pointed out, ``The US economic strategy is to strengthen competitiveness together with allies, and cooperation with Japan is important for that purpose.''
On that basis, he pointed to semiconductors, communication standards, and biotechnology as important technological fields in the future, and indicated that Japan and the United States should promote joint research to strengthen economic security and counter China.
In addition, in order to prevent the outflow of advanced technology, a system called "security clearance" to check the reliability of researchers etc. is investigated with the consent of the person in the United States, so human rights and privacy are protected. I explained.
