...restraining exports and prodding domestic activity to a 7% growth. Other Japanese policymakers, however, complained that Tokyo's labors will come to naught unless Washington helps out by controlling the dollar. "It will all be in vain if the U.S. does not cooperate," said Economic Planning Agency Director Kiichi Miyazawa. "The fact that our surpluses continue to increase despite our efforts is due mainly to U.S. foot-dragging on her energy problem and inflation." (Another cause of the surplus, U.S. officials argue, is the inability of American exporters to penetrate the highly protected Japanese market...
...South Viet Nam and overplayed U.S. responsibility for Saigon's debacle, there was no question that the American image was at least temporarily damaged and that some U.S. allies were jittery. The Japanese government announced that it was reappraising its pro-Saigon policy and that its Foreign Minister, Kiichi Miyazawa, who will visit Washington this week, will ask Kissinger to reaffirm the U.S. nuclear protection of Japan.

That may be an overstatement, but Japanese businessmen and politicians now predict that the trade surplus with the U.S. this year will drop to less than $2.5 billion, from $4.2 billion in 1972. Deliberate government policies to restrain exports and dismantle Japan's once awesome array of protectionist restrictions on foreign goods are obviously having an effect. So, too, is the sharp rise in the value...
...that if Peking has its way, "the era of collective aggression is upon us." The Nationalists' future hangs on the fate of the U.S. proposal for dual representation of both Peking and Taipei in the U.N. The case for the U.S. plan, as Japan's cool, scholarly Kiichi Aichi put it in the General Assembly, was that dual representation would be "a transitional step," opening the way for a peaceful settlement of the dispute between the two Chinas...
