ARIA/Takeda—Regarding the "Are you still committed to R&D in Japan?" question, it reminds me of the same question posed to the then CEO of Sanofi when he did the Warp Drive deal.
I'm pretty sure the question came from a member of the Japanese news media rather than an investment analyst. It's a reminder that concerns about globalism are not limited to the US and EU.
