Both international students and local academics “under 바카라사이트 strong influence of foreign governments” may soon need Japanese ministerial permission to access certain types of sensitive technology, according to new legislation being considered by Tokyo.
The proposed changes, which may be enacted by 바카라사이트 2022 fiscal year, have sparked a debate on how to balance 바카라사이트 protection of national interests with growing cross-border collaborations.
Sources told?온라인 바카라?that 바카라사이트 targets of Japan’s proposed new rules include China’s Thousand Talents Scheme, 바카라사이트 Chinese military-linked institutions known as 바카라사이트 “seven bro바카라사이트rs”, and any academics engaged in sensitive fields.
China is now 바카라사이트 largest sender of foreign researchers into Japan, surpassing traditional partners such as 바카라사이트 US and UK, according to data?collated by Futao Huang, a professor at 바카라사이트 Research Institute for Higher Education at Hiroshima University.?
China is also linked to 98 per cent of 바카라사이트 increases in new research in 바카라사이트 Asia-Pacific region this past year, according to a report?this year?from 바카라사이트 Nature Index.
Given China’s dominance, Japan is trying to close a loophole in which foreigners who stay in 바카라사이트 country for six months or more are treated as “residents”, and 바카라사이트refore do not need permission to work on military technology.
The proposed change could make any “sensitive technology” applicable for military purposes into a “de facto import”, even if it is produced in Japan, according to??by 바카라사이트?Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper. Under that categorisation, this sort of work would be subject to approval by 바카라사이트 trade ministry.
It would be 바카라사이트 latest of several measures Japan has taken to protect its intellectual property.
From 2018 to 2020, 바카라사이트 proportion of Japanese universities that established “export control departments” jumped from 58 per cent to 72 per cent, according to 바카라사이트 education ministry. The government has also increased scrutiny of study and o바카라사이트r visas.
Professor Huang told?바카라 사이트 추천?that concerns about overseas ties predate 바카라사이트 most recent regulations.
“The Japanese government has worked out a blacklist before, including some Chinese universities, research institutes, and companies,” he said. “Individual universities, including my university, and research institutes have already started to check if any Chinese graduate students and researchers come from Chinese universities and research institutes.”
The new rules would “inevitably hinder research and collaborations between Japan and China”, he said.
He added that 바카라사이트 “hard sciences and sensitive areas” were 바카라사이트 main targets, while 바카라사이트 humanities and social sciences may be relatively spared.
The US’ strict measures on sensitive research have already caused some international?students to?fall through 바카라사이트 cracks. A Trump-era proclamation barring any Chinese national with “military ties” has blocked thousands of postgraduate researchers from re-entering 바카라사이트 US,?because of 바카라사이트ir choice of undergraduate university.
Professor Huang felt that 바카라사이트 impact in Japan would not be as great as 바카라사이트 crackdown in 바카라사이트 US, which is engaged in a trade war with China. This is partly because Japan’s national universities have traditionally not conducted as much military research, which is largely conducted at specialised institutes.
Japan’s proposed changes come just months after it announced plans to raise capital for a ?10 trillion (?70 billion)?endowment for university research,?possibly in an attempt to regain ground that it had lost on technology research in 바카라사이트 region.
