Japan will export lethal weapons for the first time after lifting its restraints, and the US ambassa

Did Biden's buried thunder explode?Japan loosens military restraints and plans to sell back lethality to the United States**, the US ambassador to Japan quickly "praised", and eight countries, including the United States, have nodded that a new crisis is approaching China. So, what exactly is Japan's purpose?Which 8 countries support Japan?

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of its "Indo-Pacific strategy" and gain more initiative and advantages in the Indo-Pacific region, the United States has continued to woo allies in the Indo-Pacific region in recent years to strengthen its own military strength. And these allies are equivalent to the "** mines" buried by the United States around China, which may explode one day, and Japan, as a loyal little brother of the United States, has naturally become the one most likely to explode. Recently, Japan has made a lot of small moves, and it is reported that Japan officially delivered a new air warning radar to the Philippines on the 20th, which is the first time that Japan has exported the best equipment products. Why is it the first time?That's because Japan, as the initiator of World War II and the defeated country, was limited in its future military development, and Japan has the so-called "three principles" for the export of equipment, which is also a set of mechanisms for Japan's self-restraint management, so Japan cannot be like a normal country in the field of equipment exports.

However, as everyone knows, in recent years, with the instigation and support of the United States, Japan has gradually restarted its path of "militarization." Although Japan unilaterally "loosened itself" and had the ability to develop and build, because Japan lagged behind militarily for decades in the past, only a small country like the Philippines was willing to import ** from Japan. It should be pointed out here that Japan has recently followed the example of the United States and intends to win over ASEAN countries and want to unite ASEAN countries to confront China, and the Philippines is the first chess piece to enter the game. And this delivery also marks that Japan is gradually loosening military constraints, but Japan's wolf ambition can be said to be well known, and this deal with the Philippines does not meet Japan's export ambitions, Japan's ambition is to export lethal **.

According to US media reports, Japan has revised the "Three Principles for the Transfer of Defense Equipment" on the 22nd, and plans to export the lethal ones, that is, to sell the "Patriot" missiles back to the United States. This is interesting, the "Patriot" missiles were originally from the United States, and Japan handed over the "Patriot" missiles to the United StatesI have to say that this kind of operation is really incomprehensible to the outside world, but the United States and Japan have a lot of fun. Because this is Japan's first export of fatal **, before that, Japan can only export some parts at most, so this decision made by Japan ** can be described as a "historic decision". As soon as the news spread, US Ambassador to Japan Emanuel immediately "welcomed." Emmanuel said Japan's move would give U.S. stockpiles flexibility and praised Japan's ongoing efforts to "modernize its defenses." In addition, about 80 types of equipment equipped by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are produced under license**, including lethality**, and have been licensed by 8 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. This also explains why Japan wants to sell "Patriot" missiles back to the United States, and there are two main reasons.

On the one hand, Japan took this opportunity to revise the "Three Principles for the Transfer of Defense Equipment", laying the foundation for Japan to continue to export lethal equipment in the future, and in this way continue to make Japan's exports "legal", so that in addition to more open-minded military cooperation with the United States and other allies, Japan can also increase efforts to disrupt the situation in the Asia-Pacific or the Indo-Pacific. On the other hand, the US ambassador to Japan said that Japan's export of "Patriot" missiles at this time has made the US missile arsenal more substantial, which shows that the US arsenal is already seriously lacking, and it cannot be ruled out that the United States will provide the "Patriot" missiles obtained from Japan to Ukraine and Israel.

In short, this move by the United States and Japan must be a hidden "careful thought," and it is obviously impossible for Japan to give up "militarization" because Japan has been coveting China's Diaoyu Islands for a long time and wants to unite with the United States and other Western countries to confront China. Japan's lethal exports will inevitably pose a threat to the security of the Asia-Pacific situation, and China will also face a new crisis, and China must be fully prepared for collusion between the United States and Japan.
