**According to the report, in order to prevent foreign missile attacks, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has decided to build "underground bunkers" in its jurisdiction from 2024 to allow residents to evacuate for a long time.
According to Japan, the city is about to start construction work on a subway station and is looking for a suitable subway station or parking lot as a potential site for an underground bunker. According to the statistics of the Cabinet Secretariat of Japan, in accordance with the provisions of the National Insurance**, 560,000 "emergency temporary shelters" to protect people from secondary disasters that could be triggered by missile strikes.
These facilities can only meet the needs of short-term evacuation, and in the event of a large-scale missile attack, they will be difficult to effectively protect the population. Japan realized that if it was to be prepared for a missile attack, it would have to invest a lot of money in the construction of underground bunkers, as Tokyo did, which would be a huge financial burden for Japan as a whole.
The Yomiuri Shimbun admits that other areas may not be able to build underground bunkers like Tokyo. In the event of a large-scale missile attack by a foreign country, the safety of the population will be seriously threatened.
For ordinary Japanese people, the peaceful life of the Japanese is suddenly threatened by war, and they have to live in fear at all times on the lookout for foreign missile attacks. Such fears may stay with them for a long time, unless the Tokyo authorities abandon their current foreign and military policy. Otherwise, this missile threat could become a nightmare that they will never be able to get rid of, or even turn into a real disaster at some point.
Despite Japan's aggressive efforts to build underground bunkers, they are actually guarding against the missile threat from North Korea, not China.
Although Sino-Japanese relations remain tense, the risk of war has been greatly reduced with high-level diplomatic and economic and trade contacts between the two countries. The main thing that Japan is scrambling to guard against is the missile threat from North Korea. The situation in Northeast Asia has become tense under the agitation of the United States, Japan, and South Korea, and the slightest spark could trigger a war.
Although Japan is not a direct party to tensions on the peninsula, it will not be able to stay out of the situation if the United States launches a second Korean War, because the country is the main US military base in the Asia-Pacific region. North Korea is not only a missile power, but also has a nuclear **. Japan could not stay away when the conflict broke out on the peninsula, as there were still US military bases on their territory. Japan invested in underground bunkers, apparently fearing that North Korean missiles could surprise Japan.
Tokyo closely follows North Korea's movements, as every move by North Korea is likely to spark their keen interest.
Regarding the condolence message sent by the supreme leader of the DPRK to Japan**, in which the word "Your Excellency" is used to address Fumio Kishida, it has caused trouble in Japan**. Japan's Foreign Ministry said that this is the first time that the supreme leader of North Korea has used such an honorific title against a Japanese prime minister, and that his intentions need to be carefully analyzed and measures taken. For the first time, the DPRK sent a message of condolences to Japan at the level of the head of state and gave Kishida the honorific title of "Your Excellency" for the first time, indicating that they hope that the two sides can respect each other. Japan should perhaps accept the goodwill from Pyongyang to ease relations, avoid getting involved in the crisis on the peninsula, and live in friendship with its neighbors so that their lives are free from worry and fear.
