About this listen

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Tokyo Trials, a historic moment that exposed the crimes of Japanese militarism and delivered justice to the world.

What do they reveal about Japan's strategic ambitions? Is this a return to militarism, or something more complex? And why is the region and the world watching closely?
