Japan has launched its national intelligence bureau, creating the country's first centralized intelligence command since World War II. The government says it is essential to address today's increasingly complex security challenges. Critics see a different story. They warn the bureau could centralize intelligence power under the prime minister, weaken democratic oversight and revive concerns rooted in Japan's wartime past. CGTN's Cao Bing examines the history, the controversy and the implications behind Japan's biggest intelligence reform since World War II. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: I
