Title: Japan Playing with Fire!Do you want to pick on China and are you ready to bear the consequences?
Fumio Kishida** is here again!They're making a big move this time. I heard that they are not only preparing to increase the defense budget, but are directly targeting China. It's not something to scare people, but a real need to do something outside the country, which sounds really exciting.
Not long ago, they released their defense budget for 2024, and the number soared to 77 trillion yen!That's the highest number in history. And behind this is a very interesting thing, Japan's economy is in recession, but it is in this situation that they are pushing up the defense budget more and more, isn't this a bit of putting the cart before the horse?Although their own ** is still losing, they have never stopped to increase the pace of defense.
Let's take a look at Japan's traditional advantageous industries, such as the automobile industry, which are no longer competitive. However, Fumio Kishida's cabinet is trying to increase defense spending under the pretext of the so-called "mid-level threat". Since Fumio Kishida became prime minister, Japan has no longer insisted on "exclusive defense" and has changed to the "active defense" mode of so-called "foreign strikes". This means that they no longer focus on "self-defense", but on preparing for an "offensive".
Moreover, they also plan to deploy an improved version of the cruise missile ahead of schedule, preparing to complete this program by 2025. Isn't this just to cooperate with the so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy" of the United States?In fact, the United States has already started this game, and they recently withdrew from the INF Treaty on the grounds that the threat of the PLA's medium-range missiles is too great. Japan, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and began to take an aggressive posture, not only improving its own missiles, but also purchasing a large number of Tomahawk cruise missiles from the United States. This behavior is simply overestimating their own strength, they should be careful, and don't forget that China's Dongfeng missiles are not vegetarian.
China does not want to provoke a war, but Japan cannot be aggressive against China. If they do, China has Dongfeng missiles that are enough to set their military bases on fire. This is no joke, and Japan should not underestimate China's military strength, let alone provoke disputes.
After all, peace is paramount, but if someone provokes, they will have to pay for their actions.
