日本語 term (edited):
よって立つところ
Selected
base;standpoint; place to stand on; rooted on ...;
「よって立つ」 if follwed usually with words like 「ところ」、「基本理念」、「考え方」. So, in normal use, 「よって立つところ」 is a standpoint, basic belief or phylosophy on which one stands. In this example, however, he used this expression with a little twist. This could be translated as "the only place where he wants to establish himself as a professional is Japan"
Example sentence:
「生命倫理学」のよって立つ倫理を問い直してみよう
日本国憲法のよって立つ個人の尊重と国民主権の考え
