NEW RESOURCE: 2010 will mark the 50th anniversary of the Japan-United States security
agreement, but recently problems have surfaced as newly elected Prime Minister Hatoyama advocates a “more equal partnership” (taito na domei)
with the United States and has decided to rethink the plan to move the
Futenma military base, a... decision made in 2005 under the previous
administration. As Hatoyama’s cabinet has openly and publicly disagreed
about the correct plan of action, US government officials have
responded with worries of their own over the future of the US-Japan
relationship.
