Then trade with countries other than China (there are plenty of other countries in and near Asia -- such as Australia which has a very large agricultural industry due to having so much land)? Don't get me wrong, there are certain parts of agriculture (fishing for example) that make sense for a country like Japan, but considering how much land is required to grow crops sustainably it doesn't make sense (at least to me) to make your agriculture industry an important part of your protectionist rhetoric.
