Japans Military Buildup: A Response to Regional Threats
Japan has recently unveiled its first long-range missiles, capable of striking distant targets, and plans to deploy more in Hokkaido and Miyazaki by 2028. These missiles, along with hypersonic glide vehicles, are part of a broader military buildup aimed at deterring regional threats, primarily China. The move has been met with protests from local residents, but Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi has emphasized its importance for national security. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis administration has also approved a record defense budget and established a new office to monitor Chinas activities in the Pacific. This shift marks a significant departure from postwar limitations, with Takaichi warning that an attack on Taiwan could provoke a Japanese response.
