・The work left behind by former Prime Minister Abe is “revising the Constitution,” strengthening defense capabilities to protect one's own country, and strong economic growth due to Abenomics, which has stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other than that, what has been left behind, such as revisions to education laws, formulation of innovation 25, establishment of the National Security Council, the National Security Agency, the development of specific secrets protection laws, peace and security legislation, etc. are great (p23)
・According to the current patent law, when one and a half years have passed since the application is filed, the invention is disclosed, but unlike secret patents, it is now possible for the country to examine those technological inventions with extremely high security sensitivity and make them “conservation designation” and ineffectual, making it possible for inventors to secure the status of a prior application as a patent applicant (p39)
・In the system for strengthening the supply chain in the Economic Security Promotion Law, Japanese companies have a high global market share of high-end products incorporated into data centers, machine tools, industrial robots, defense equipment, etc. designated 11 substances including semiconductors as specific important substances in December of Reiwa 4 (p41), but for low-end products, as a result of proceeding with factory relocation to China, the ratio of Chinese production doubled (p49)
・Regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, out of the 8 therapeutic agents that were supported, 4 drugs have been put to practical use. In particular, Shionogi Pharmaceutical's Zocoba was the first novel coronavirus medicine created by a domestic company and was urgently approved in 2022/11 (p63)
・Game changers as a national defense system that can respond to new forms of warfare are satellites, cyber, electromagnetic waves, and hypersonic weapons (p82)
・In order to remove space debris (space debris), it is necessary to have a satellite equipped with a series of functions of approaching and removing debris flying while rotating at a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour in outer space, and Japan's space activities have independence in both transportation (rocket launch), satellites (satellite system construction), and exploration (missions beyond the Moon and Martian sphere) (p91)
・Nuclear fusion is energy released when deuterium and triple hydrogen are fused to change to helium, and it is energy that makes the sun and stars shine, does not generate carbon dioxide that causes global warming, does not generate high-level radioactive waste, and is expected as next-generation clean energy with high environmental protection (p105) Unlike nuclear fission using uranium and plutonium, “fusion energy” has come to be used as a term (p109)
・A new law to establish a security clearance (SC) system is part of national information security measures promulgated in 2024/5 (p136), and this is a “specific secret protection law” enacted by former Prime Minister Abe over the fate of the cabinet (p140)
・In order to clarify important identity relationships, a family register is an official book describing consanguine/ matrimony relationships, and since the other party's family register is specifically displayed on both the new family register and the old family register, it is possible to mutually create the other party's family register, it is possible to link both family registers, and it is possible to prove the infinite spread of kinship relationships, and the notarial power of the family register is extremely high (p189)
・What I learned in the Ukraine war is that Japan must protect the nation without turning a blind eye to the geopolitical environment where countries with the right to veto the UN Security Council control diplomacy, countries with nuclear weapons control the military, countries with resources control the economy, Japan has none, but neighboring countries have everything, Russia and China, and has land at the forefront of the world's leading nuclear weapons surrounded on three sides (p193)
・The amount of crude oil imported by Japan from Russia is only 3.6%, and LNG is 8.8%, but crude oil passing through the Bashi Strait in southern Taiwan is 90% of Japan's total, and LNG is 60%, and if a Taiwan emergency occurs, Japan's lifeline will be cut off, so the Taiwan emergency is such a serious issue for Japan (p220)
・Hypersonic weapons developed by China cannot be intercepted by current Japanese anti-aircraft defense systems, but scramjet engines, design technology, heat-resistant materials, hydrodynamics, etc. are civilian technologies that Japan has strengths in (p225)
