Defense Report: A 500-page report from Japan has increased the tension of the world. In view of Russia's war against Ukraine and China-Taiwan tensions, Japan has said that the threat to national security may increase. Japan released the annual defense document on Friday, in which frightening things have been said. The annual defense white paper, approved by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's cabinet on Friday, stressed the need to increase Japan's military capability to address security concerns.
Japan's defense budget will double!
Kishida's ruling party wants to double the military budget in the near future. Japan's national security strategy is to be reviewed in the next few months, ahead of which this report has been released. In this nearly 500-page report, China, Russia and North Korea are said to have raised the most security concerns. Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said in a statement included in the report that the Indo-Pacific region has become a hotbed of international strategic competition. The report called Russia's invasion of Ukraine a "gross violation of international law".
US and China tension also mentioned
The report also said that the effects of a unilateral change in the status quo by force could extend to the Indo-Pacific region. The report also mentions rising tensions between the US and China over Taiwan. The US is still sending warships and weapons to Taiwan, while Chinese fighter jets are constantly entering Taiwan's airspace. China considers Taiwan as its own part and has said many times that it can annex Taiwan by force if needed.
China furious over Japan's report
China criticized the Japanese defense letter, saying it exaggerated the military threat from China. Enraging Japan, Dragon also said that China's internal policy with Taiwan has been interfered with through this report. "We urge Japan to stop highlighting security threats in its neighborhood to justify its military deployment," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.
