Experts say Japan has been a weak link given its often-unchecked embrace of foreign students.

"We want Japanese universities to be trusted for their security and trade controls so that joint research with the United States or Europe can continue," said the official, who declined to be identified as he is not authorised to speak to media. The drive to step up monitoring in academia is part of a push to expand its export controls, in tandem with a new economic security bill passed this month.
The same scholar might well have been rejected as a high-risk candidate in the United States, where the stakes are high for universities: along with the individual, they can be held liable for any breach in export controls. Chinese students made up 44% of Japan's 279,597 foreign university students in 2020, according to government data, while the United States was the top destination for Japanese researchers, followed by China, in 2019.But questions remain over how effective the new system will be and some academics say they simply are not cut out to be spy catchers.
