1AC

Affirmative

  • Framework — Util — pain/pleasure resolves infinite regress; terminal value for moral evaluation
  • Adv 1 — U.S.-Japan Alliance — aging/demographic decline undermines alliance sustainability; bases in East Asia key to U.S. forward presence
  • Adv 2 — Liberal International Order — immigration integration into Japan signals liberal norms; China is opportunistic not revisionist, so LIO cooperation incentives outweigh displacement
  • Internal link — Japan immigration → LIO — Gallant evidence: migrants empirically integrated; spillover effect creates broader liberal norm diffusion
  • Impact — Great-power war / nuclear extinction — adversary aggression foreclosed by strong U.S.-Japan alliance and robust LIO
