Is Japan a ‘spy paradise’ fuelling Russia’s war machine?

A recent report indicates that dozens of Russian agents, previously expelled from Western European nations, have entered Tokyo. These agents are reportedly acquiring components vital for Russia's war in Ukraine, including microchips and advanced machinery. This situation has raised concerns that Japan may be a "spy paradise" due to its lack of a specific anti-espionage law. The New York Times reported that these agents are exploiting this legal gap and the presence of numerous companies manufacturing critical war components. The article suggests that these components are essential for the Kremlin's war machine and the production of advanced weapons systems.
