"The past decade has seen a highly polarized debate concerning the Japanese fiscal system, particularly the role of income tax. Several authors argue that Japanese income tax is grossly unfair to low- and middle-income taxpayers, while others depict it as the most progressive in the industrialized world. Indeed, many critics claim that it is too progressive, and some even denounce it as 'socialist'. What is sorely lacking is an account that places contemporary Japanese taxation, and the larger fiscal system, in a comparative and historical context. That is what this paper offers. We argue that Japan's tax system is neither highly redistributive from the rich to the poor nor vice versa-at least in the traditional way that redistribution is understood in most Westerntax systems. Rather, Japan stands out for the scale of its inter-regional redistribution and the debilitating politico-economic incentives that stem from it."

"Kasus perebutan kepulauan Senkaku antara Jepang dan Cina kembali memanas sejak tahun 2010 akibat insiden tertabraknya dua kapal pengawasan maritim milik Jepang di sekitar perairan kepulauan Senkaku dengan sebuah kapal pukat milik Cina. Akibat insiden ini, Jepang dan Cina kembali mengangkat permasalahan kedaulatan kepulauan Senkaku yang belum terselesaikan sejak tahun 1970. Cina mengajukan tuntutannya atas kepulauan Senkaku dengan beberapa bukti historis, namun Jepang menganggap bahwa kasus perebutan Kepulauan Senkaku tidak pernah ada. Jepang menyatakan bahwa berdasarkan Perjanjian San Fransisco 1951 Artikel 2 dan 3, Jepang memiliki hak kedaulatan atas Kepulauan Senkaku yang diberikan oleh Amerika. Pernyataan Jepang tersebut dibantah oleh Cina dengan berbagai alasan. Karena adanya kontradiksi antara pendapat Jepang dan Cina, perlu dilakukan penelitian terhadap Perjanjian San Fransisco Artikel 2 dan 3 terkait kedaulatan Kepulauan Senkaku.

Because of the incident, Japan and China rekindle the unsettled dispute on Senkaku Islands’ sovereignty since 1970. China has claimed their sovereignty on Senkaku Islands, backed up with historical evidence. In the othe hand, Japan still consider the claim by the Chinese never happened. Japan stated that based on Treaty San Fransisco in 1951, article number 2 and 3 that Japan still has the sovereign right on Senkaku islands given by the America. This statement was rebutted by China with various reasons. Because of the difference understanding between Japan and China on the Treaty of San Fransisco, specifically on Article 2 and 3 , futher study on the treaty regarding the Senkaku islands’ sovereignty is needed."
