This, incidentally, was partly a "gift" from Obama to Abe in order to get him on board with the TPP:

It just goes to show just how desperate Obama is to get the TPP signed and the depths to which he'll sink. First tacit approval of slavery in Malaysia and now state department approval of Japanese re-militarization.

All for a trade agreement that grants corporations the ability to sue nation states in secret courts for instituting laws that impede their ability to profit.
