Also, it covers the security environment surrounding Japan, including the situation and activities of those countries, which the NDPG attaches importance to, such as the U.S., China, North Korea and Russia. In addition, it also provides thorough explanations about the trends related to the new domains such as space, cyber space and electromagnetic spectrum. The latest White Paper also features the Defense Chronology, which introduces the major events in the past one year, related to the defense of Japan; and the MOD/JSDF in the Heisei Era, which provides you an opportunity to look back on the activities of the MOD/JSDF over the past 30 years.
