macro commentators' structural 5-10yr thesis that Tokyo is positioned to become Asia's dominant global financial centre, with tradable-vs-non-tradable risk as the decisive criterion: Japan's open capital account, reserve JPY, deepest yen crosses, GPIF and rule of law form a moat China cannot replicate without surrendering political control (HK demoted to a controlled 'watering hole', Singapore a capped 'canal'). Mechanism: a long-horizon expansion of JPY's reserve/trading-currency role and a re-rating of Japanese financials. Bears on 6J (long-term structural support, opposite-signed to the near-term USD-driven weakness) and Japanese equities/JGB demand.
