We'll see how things go, they definitely have a lot of problems to work through in the near future. Becoming decolonized is ultimately a prerequisite towards having any sovereignty, so that needs to happen before any positive change can occur.

I don't think they believe they can decolonize and be independent of a world hegemon. Unlike the liberal world, who can get independent and then try to navigate, I think Japan will not decolonize until they have a path charted to fully participate in the world system they think will win.
