("The opportunities for Japan to grab market share won’t be in building entire weapons systems such as jet fighters or aircraft carriers. Japanese companies have a competitive edge in building high-end components, particularly electronics. * * * Japan now has the chance to make components for the F-35 that other countries may be able to use")
Note:
(a) summary underneath the title of print: Prime Minister Abe ends the ban on military exports as China growls
(b) Japan’s arms export ban “hindered the growth of the country’s defense industry. Because it couldn’t sell parts overseas, Japanese defense companies missed out on chances to develop tanks, fighter jets, and other weaponry with the US. The ban ‘has resulted in an isolated Japanese defense industry that produces very small quantities at very high cost,’ says Lance Gatling, president of Nexial Research, a defense consulting company in Tokyo.”
(i) Mr Gatling graduated from West Point, and holds two master’s degrees.
(ii) The word “nexial” is not in any English dictionary, but derived from English (actually Latin) noun nexus.
(c) “Tsuneo WATANABE 渡部 恒雄, director of policy research and senior fellow at the Tokyo Foundation 東京財団”
tsune 常 【つね】 (n): "usual state of things <私は彼と学校に行くのが常でした。 I used to go to school with him>"
(d) “The country [India] has had bad experiences buying Russian and French weapons. The Japanese could compete, especially if they do better by the Indians, says Dean Cheng, an East Asian military analyst for the Heritage Foundation.”
(i) I can not find “do better by” in any dictionary.
(ii) City and Colour

(Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green)
whose 2009 single "The Girl" whose first clause is: “I wish I could do better by you.”
