japan's national diet passed legislation creating the country's first centralized intelligence agency since world war two, framed by the prime minister as the first step toward modern espionage capability against foreign adversaries. this ends an eighty-year structural abstention — japan deliberately had no such body since 1945, and building one marks a quiet redefinition of what the japanese state is allowed to be.
