The Japanese Kishida government has adopted a new national security strategy, breaking the principle of "military ban" after World War II, and allowing the Self -Defense Force to have the ability to fight against enemy goals.This means that Japan's future strategy has shifted from specialty to adopting attacks with the US military.
The Japanese Cabinet passed three key documents related to the National Security Protection Strategy on Friday (December 16), and made unprecedented amendments to Japan's security and defense policies.
In view of the restrictions of the post -war constitution, Japan's counterattack ability has always rely on the US military.The biggest turning point of the new strategy is to allow the Self -Defense Force to have "counterattack ability", which is defined as "minimum necessary self -defense measures", and the goal is limited to "military targets" such as missile bases.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Taiwan Strait crisis, and the continuous increase of missile testing of missiles in Japan are the reasons for the adjustment of the national security strategy.
Japanese Prime Minister Kishita Tian Wenxiong emphasized at a press conference: "Having counterattack ability is to constitute a deterrent, which is indispensable in the future. We must also have defense systems in response to new areas such as space, network, and electromagnetic waves, and we must also have a defense system in new areas such as space, network, and electromagnetic waves, and we must.Strengthen the defense of the Southwest. These three documents are major changes in the Japanese post -war security policy. However, Japan's national route will not change, and Japan will continue to pursue the three principles of nuclear non -nuclear and special defense policies. "
He also said: "The neighboring countries and regions in Japan are strengthening nuclear and missile capabilities and rapidly increasing military reserve. The attempt of changing the status quo by force unilaterally is becoming more and more obvious.The defender of the country has made realistic considerations. Our goal is to increase national defense expenses to 2 % of the GDP (GDP) in 2027 five years later. We will accelerate ... strengthen cooperation with the United States and the United States."
The Japanese government shows that to strengthen the continuous combat effectiveness of the Self -Defense Force, in addition to improving the range of domestic missiles, it is also necessary to purchase advanced military reserve such as Tomahawk cruise missiles in the United States. ThereforeEssence
Kishida has announced earlier that it plans to increase defense expenditure by about 60 % to 43 trillion yen (about S $ 427 billion) in the next five years.
According to Japanese media, Kishida will visit Washington next month and will discuss the issue of strengthening defense cooperation with US President Biden.After Japan adopts a new national security strategy, it will also seek to revise a defense cooperation agreement with the United States.
The above three documents express China's movement as "the biggest strategic challenge", which means that China's external posture and military activities are "serious concerns" in the international community.
China has expressed strong dissatisfaction on this and has proposed to the Japanese side solemnly.A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Japan said that the statement seriously deviated from the basic facts and provoked the regional tension and opposition.
