Описание: タイトル：【Japanese Podcast】What is「中道」? | The Word Even Japanese Don't Understand

The word "中道" keeps appearing in Japanese political news—but even Japanese people don't really know what it means.
This episode explores what "centrism" actually is, why "the middle" depends on where you stand, and how Japan's political scale differs from the world's.
By the end, you'll understand key political vocabulary and learn to look beyond labels to actual policies.
