US, South Korea, Japan Hold Joint Drills Amid North Korea Threats (Voice of America)

The drill, which was held in the waters east of South Korea's Ulleung Island, focused on the detection, tracking, and interception of ballistic missiles.

A full-range test would be more provocative, since it would likely pass over Japan and could head in the direction of a U.S. In a statement last week, Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, vowed her country will use the Pacific Ocean as a “firing range” if the U.S. As North Korea expands its capabilities, South Korean officials, including Yoon, have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the U.S. All of North Korea’s previous tests have used lofted trajectories, flying high into space before splashing down in waters relatively close to North Korea. Later Wednesday, the United States and South Korea will hold a “tabletop” exercise at the Pentagon. North Korea has responded angrily to the increased drills.

A year into war, Ukrainians are plugging Japan's tech talent gap (Aljazeera.com)

A scholarship programme aims to help displaced Ukrainians find jobs while addressing Japan's chronic labour shortages.

“In the end, it will be more profitable for them, because most of the refugees are young, nearly graduated students, whose potential isn’t unlocked yet. “I have a dream that Japanese companies will hire Ukrainians coming to Japan and use this opportunity to get access to arguably the world’s best tech market, return on investment-wise,” Ueno-Olausson told Al Jazeera. Following a roundabout journey out of Ukraine, the pair arrived in Tokyo in late March last year. In 2022, the jobs-to-applicants ratio for IT professionals hit 10 to one, the biggest disparity of any industry measured, according to figures from staffing agency Persol Career. “I started to think about how I could help Ukrainians start a new life from scratch in Japan,” Kaverina told Al Jazeera. After two restless days travelling on planes and buses, Kaverina met her parents in the city of Chernivtsi, where she worked remotely for her company in Japan while doing volunteer work and aid runs across the Romanian border.

Japan exploits Chinese balloon incident to justify war plans (WSWS)

Tokyo's response is being coordinated with the United States without providing any evidence that so-called “spy balloons” are meant for espionage purposes.

Sections of the political establishment have also called for even greater military spending as a means for boosting the economy. In Jo’s words, they were left to “trust what the United States officially stated” on the issue, meaning that Washington had not shared any actual information with its two allies demonstrating the balloon had been spying. “We don’t have those bilateral relations with Taiwan, so we don’t cooperate on that, but Japan's government will have to consider what it does next,” said Itsunori Onodera, a leading LDP Diet member and former defense minister. Fully conscience of the broad anti-war sentiment that exists in the working class and among youth, the Kishida administration and the LDP do not want to risk putting military legislation to a vote. In response to the US and Japanese accusations, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin stated on February 15, “China has repeatedly shared information on the unintended entry of a Chinese civilian unmanned airship into US airspace. The Japanese media began ramping up this manufactured hysteria shortly after the US military shot down the balloon on February 4, claiming that Japan was similarly “at risk.” The media pointed to balloons seen in November 2019 over Kagoshima Prefecture, in June 2020 over Miyagi Prefecture, and in September 2021 over Aomori Prefecture.
