Japan is very much under the thumb of the US, Iâd be very surprised if they werenât already âunofficiallyâ in Five Eyes.
They were, but official revelation will have larger consequences, most specifically for mainland China.
Is there any concrete evidence of that? IIRC they were involved, but not comprehensively involved in data sharing.
Probably the same deal as Germany⌠the US gets all the data and the BND gets some if the US finds it convenient.
Probably a case of the Japanese finding that unsatisfactory and demanding a less one-sided deal.
Hooray! Just the alliance we need to effectively counter-balance China, ourselves and our allies.
