Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
Economic Security Promotion Act (Act on Promotion of Ensuring Security by Integrated Implementation of Economic Measures), promulgated 11 May 2022 and phased into force from August 2022 through 2024. Four pillars: (i) supply-chain resilience for designated "specified critical products" including semiconductors, rare earths, batteries, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials, with subsidy support and government stockpiling; (ii) ex-ante screening of infrastructure operators in 14 critical sectors (telecoms, electricity, finance, water, rail, etc) for foreign-supplied equipment and software; (iii) public-private partnership on sensitive emerging technologies with classified programmes; (iv) patent non-disclosure regime for dual-use inventions. Paired with substantial chip-sector subsidy spending — ~¥476bn to TSMC Kumamoto Fab 1, additional commitments to Fab 2 and Rapidus (targeting 2nm domestic logic production) and Kioxia/Western Digital memory investment, cumulatively exceeding ¥4tn.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
