Japan now has access to Starlink.

Japan is the first Asian country to have access to Starlink.  KDDI Corporation chose Starlink to deliver its high-speed, low-latency broadband internet to its remote mobile towers. KDDI will be able to offer an urban mobile experience to its rural customers as soon as 2022, the corporation said in a statement. The ground station for Starlink service has been granted an experimental license by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. Both companies have been demonstrating their quality and performance. 

KDDI is Japan's second-largest mobile provider, covering over 90% of the population with 4G communication. It has a band that extends over half of the land area. KDDI is one of the partnerships that Musk mentioned during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. According to an interview with Musk in the Financial Times, China does not want Starlink. According to Musk, Beijing disapproves of his recent deployment of Starlink in Ukraine to help the military circumvent Russia's cut-off of the internet. He said Beijing wanted assurances that he wouldn't sell Starlink in China.
