Liberal Democratic Party “Strategic development from the perspective of“ economic security ”” Legal development, etc. Proposal October 18, 4:57

In the midst of fierce conflict between the United States and China, the Liberal Democratic Party's Strategic Headquarters said that it was necessary to formulate a strategy from the perspective of "economic security" in order to respond to changes in the international order, and to protect information on cutting-edge technology. We have compiled an interim report that recommends the development of legislation.

In June, the Liberal Democratic Party set up a strategic headquarters with an eye on the post-convergence of the new coronavirus, and compiled an interim report based on the discussions so far.



According to the report, "Including the sharpening of the conflict between the United States and China, each country is actively seeking the state of the post-corona international order and exerting influence," he said. In order to respond to changes in order, it is necessary to create a strategy from the perspective of "economic security."



On top of that, the government will be equipped with legislation to protect information on cutting-edge technology, and the "economic group" established in the National Security Agency of the Cabinet Secretariat will improve the ability to collect confidential information. We are proposing to strengthen cooperation with information agencies such as the United States and the United Kingdom.



Based on this interim report, the Strategy Headquarters will deepen discussions and finalize recommendations to the government by the end of the year.
