Takaichi Seeks Japan Group to Ward Off Risky Foreign Investors

New Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will push for the establishment of an official group to monitor whether investments and takeover bids from abroad pose security risks.

It will be a Japanese version of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US, or CFIUS, an inter-agency group led by the Treasury Secretary that reviews whether investments from overseas may carry risks such as revealing military secrets or technology leakage.
