Japan has drastically increased its defense spending, eased restrictions on exports of lethal weapons, pushed forward the deployment of intermediate and long-range missiles, expanded offensive military capabilities, revised its pacifist Constitution, and even clamored to be a war-capable nation. A Japan accelerating its #remilitarization is becoming a powder keg... show more

Chinese Foreign Ministry: While paying lip service to peace and defense, Japan is actually speeding down the path of remilitarization by ramping up military expenditure, easing the export of lethal weapons, advancing the deployment of intermediate and long-range missiles, developing offensive military capability, hoarding sensitive nuclear materials, promoting the revision of its pacifist constitution, and even advocating that Japan should become a war-capable nation. In fact, Japan has torn off the mask of a pacifist country all by itself. The international community must stay on high alert and should never allow Japanese militarism to return and menace the world again.

China's Foreign Ministry on Japan relaxing the restrictions on defense equipment exports: China is gravely concerned over this. Several instruments explicitly stipulated that Japan should be completely disarmed and shall not maintain industries that would enable its rearmament. The Japanese Constitution also imposes strict restrictions on the country's military strength, the right of belligerency, and the right to wage wars. Japan's recent dangerous moves in military and security fields have debunked its self-proclaimed labels as a peaceful nation and adherence to the exclusively defense-oriented principle. Many experts worry that Japan is restarting its war machine. Japan's accelerated remilitarization is a fact and reality supported by concrete plans and actions. The international community, including China, will remain highly vigilant and firmly resist Japan's reckless moves towards new militarism.

Beijing Is Terrified: Japan Just Did Something It Hasn’t Done Since WWII. For the first time in 80 years, Japan Deployed Missiles That Can Hit China. While the world focused on the war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, Japan quietly made two major moves aimed at China. Taiwan’s premier visited Tokyo for the first time in 54 years — a symbolic diplomatic breakthrough. But the real shift came days later, when Japan deployed long-range missiles capable of striking mainland China. With a record ¥9 trillion defense budget, new strike capabilities, and a changing military doctrine, Japan is rapidly transforming its strategic posture. In this video, I explain why Japan’s quiet moves could reshape the balance of power in East Asia.

🇨🇳🇯🇵 China Slams Japan Over Military Expansion Beijing accused Japan of reigniting regional distrust through its growing militarization and warned that Tokyo’s actions betray its supposed “defensive” posture. China noted Japan’s rising defense budget, relaxed arms export rules, and push for offensive capabilities, saying these moves raise serious doubts about its peaceful intentions. “We urge Japan to deeply reflect on its history of aggression,” Beijing stated, calling on Tokyo to act prudently and stop undermining trust across Asia.

The Devil Still Dances: Decoding Japan’s Military Adventurous Complex That Seeks To Revive Militarism Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently delivered a policy speech, once again expressing a strong desire to revise the constitution. She also proposed to fundamentally strengthen Japan's defense capabilities, expand export of lethal weapons, and enhance national intelligence capacity, sending a clear signal of accelerating remilitarization. In recent years, right-wing forces in Japan have grown increasingly assertive, steadily advancing a more covert and deceptive form of neo-militarism under the guise of "peace" and "defense". Their core objective is to break free from the constraints imposed on Japan as a defeated nation in WWII and transform Japan into a military power capable of using force abroad, even waging war. Facts have clearly shown that Japan's neo-militarism is no longer merely a dangerous sign, but a real threat. Its continued rise is becoming one of the most destabilizing factors affecting regional and global peace and stability. Regional countries must collectively resist Japan’s adventurous military expansion and firmly safeguard the hard-won peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific. #Neomilitarism #AsiaPacific #JapanSelfDefenseForces #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism #Japan #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #高市早苗 #JSDF #Tomahawk #Type12 #Chinamilitary #ChinaMilBugle

Around 25,000 protestors rallied in Tokyo's Shibuya Scramble Crossing on Sunday, opposing remilitarization and Japan’s push to revise Article 9, the pacifist clause of its Constitution. The protestors are in addition calling for the resignation of far-right Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who ignited a diplomatic firestorm in November when she pledged she would deploy Japanese troops in the event of a military crisis in the Taiwan Strait. Japan's military budget for 2025 reached a record-breaking 9 trillion yen (approx. $58 billion), and in a major shift from its post-WWII pacifist policy, the country lifted its ban on lethal export weapons earlier this year and is also actively participating in US-led war exercises across the region. And on Friday, Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi has urged a “debate” on the acquisition of nuclear weapons stating that the issue is one Japan “cannot avoid touching.” Critics assert that the government is dragging the country into the US-led war on China. Takaichi’s approval rating has fallen below 50 percent as of July 17, according to recent polls.

Japanese Defense Minister Shinjirō Koizumi: Japan's defense policy and defense buildups are not based on the idea of identifying any specific country or region as a threat or having a military confrontation with it. That said, China continues to increase its defense spending at a high level and is rapidly expanding its military capabilities across a wide range of areas without sufficient transparency. China's external approach and military activities are matters of serious concern for Japan and the international community. Japan believes it is essential to have persistent candid dialogue and communication without turning our eyes away from concrete and difficult issues precisely because challenges exist. Japan's door is always open.

Japan is escalating its response to China’s threats against Taiwan. Tokyo has announced plans to deploy missiles on Yonaguni Island—just 68 miles from Taiwan—marking one of Japan’s clearest warnings yet to the Chinese Communist Party. The move comes in the middle of a growing feud between China and Japan that has already triggered export restrictions, cultural retaliation, and rising military tensions. Is Japan preparing for a future conflict over Taiwan?

🇯🇵 The country that wrote pacifism into its constitution after two atomic bombs is now openly discussing acquiring nuclear weapons of its own. Japan has doubled its defense budget, scrapped decades-old limits on arms exports, and can now sell lethal weapons to 17 countries, all under PM Sanae Takaichi. She has explicitly warned of the Chinese threat to Taiwan, which sits just 100 km from Japanese territory. Article 9 of Japan's post-war constitution renounced war entirely, it was written by American occupiers specifically to prevent Japan from ever becoming a military power again. For 80 years, the Japanese built their national identity around it. But what changed is the neighborhood: China rehearsing Taiwan invasions, North Korea regularly test-firing nuclear-capable missiles, Russia at war in Europe with Chinese backing, and an American security umbrella that looks less reliable by the year. Japan isn’t abandoning pacifism because it wants to, it is abandoning it because the world it was designed for is gone. The country that gave us the word kamikaze is rearming, and this time its neighbors are paying close attention. Source: DW News

57.2% vs 37.1%: Over half of Japanese oppose lifting ban on lethal weapons exports, polls suggest More than half of respondents in recent Japanese opinion polls opposed the government's decision to lift restrictions on exports of lethal weapons. A poll released by Kyodo News on May 18 showed that 57.2% of respondents rejected allowing exports of lethal weapons, while 37.1% were in favor. Another poll conducted by public broadcaster NHK from May 8 to 10 found that 52% of respondents opposed the government's move to open the door to lethal arms exports, while 35% expressed support. On April 21, the Japanese government, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, officially revised the "three principles on transfer of defense equipment and technology" and their implementation guidelines, scrapping the restrictions that had limited Japan's defense equipment exports to five noncombat categories, and allowing, in principle, overseas sales of weapons, including those with lethal capabilities. The revision has drawn strong concern and protest in Japan. #TakaichiSanae #AsiaPacific #SecurityPolicy #ThreePrinciples #ArmsExports #KyodoNews #YasukuniShrine #NHK #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism #PeacefulCountry #Constitution #NeoMilitarism #Japan #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #高市早苗

This WILL Be China’s Biggest Strategic Loss. Japan’s Comeback Changes the Game. China Fears a Stronger Japan More Than Trump. For decades, Beijing has built its nationalism on one assumption: Japan would remain the “defeated nation” of World War II. That assumption is now under threat. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is pushing constitutional revision with real political momentum. If Japan formally recognizes its Self-Defense Forces in the constitution, Article 9’s post-war restraints could be fundamentally reinterpreted and East Asia’s strategic balance could shift for good.

🚨 JAPAN DEPLOYS LONG-RANGE MISSILES CAPABLE OF STRIKING CHINA Japan is preparing to deploy upgraded Type-12 missiles with a range of roughly 1,000 km in Kyushu by the end of March. The move would give Tokyo, for the first time in decades, the capability to strike military targets on the Chinese mainland if a conflict were to erupt. Japanese officials say the deployment is part of a broader effort to strengthen deterrence amid rising tensions in East Asia, particularly around Taiwan and the East China Sea. Beijing has sharply criticized the plan, warning it could undermine regional stability and escalate the arms race in the Pacific. The shift reflects a major change in Japan’s defence posture as the security environment in Asia continues to harden.

Chinese PLA Major General Meng Xiangqing on Japan: This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Tokyo Trials, which nailed the crimes of Japanese militarism forever to the pillar of historical shame. Yet today certain forces openly glorify war crimes and attempt to challenge the verdict. Can a country that has not thoroughly liquidated the toxic legacy of militarism be qualified to talk about international defense cooperation? Can it win the trust of Asian countries that it invaded? I deeply doubt it. Japan is pushing to revise its pacifist constitution and the three non-nuclear principles, and seeking to have allies deploy nuclear weapons on its soil.

China’s warning about Japan’s re-militarization is not just a warning to Tokyo. It is a warning to the entire region. Japan’s economy has fallen back to roughly its 1992 level in nominal dollar terms, while China has grown into the world’s second-largest economy. China’s military spending has long remained below 1.5% of GDP. Even if Japan pushes defense spending to 5% of its GDP, it still cannot match China’s scale, industrial capacity, military R&D, shipbuilding, missile production, or strategic depth. So let us be honest: Japan’s re-militarization is not a real military threat to China. Japan cannot fight China. The real danger is to the smaller countries that keep telling China to “move on” from history. Japan once invaded, occupied, burned, raped, enslaved, and massacred across Asia. China. Korea. The Philippines. Indonesia. Singapore. Malaysia. Vietnam. Myanmar. Cambodia. Laos. Half of Asia remembers what Imperial Japan did. Or at least it should. The reason Japan has behaved like a “peaceful country” after 1945 is not because Japanese militarism suddenly grew a conscience. It is because the postwar order pulled out the beast’s fangs. And because China became too strong to be swallowed again. Now, as the U.S.-led order weakens, Japan’s Neo-fascist forces are testing the cage. They call it “defense.” They call it “counterstrike capability.” They call it “normalization.” But Asia has heard these words before. Japan has always known how to dress aggression in polite language. Today Japan does not dare confront China directly. So it provokes China, hides behind Washington, cries about Chinese “bullying,” and performs weakness for the Western press. That theater creates a useful illusion: Japan is peaceful. China is aggressive. But the real historical danger is not that Japan will defeat China. It is that Japan will once again turn its militarism toward countries that cannot fight back. And here is the part those countries should understand: China will not sacrifice Chinese soldiers to protect client states that choose the “Indo-Pacific” containment camp and help Tokyo and Washington pressure China. The Chinese people would not allow it. If some countries believe they can cut themselves off from China, stand with Japan, erase history, and become “higher-class Asians” under the U.S. umbrella, then they should prepare to live with the consequences. Japan was restrained by defeat. Not by remorse. And when the leash loosens, the first victims are rarely the strong.

Chinese Foreign Ministry: Japan bears grave historical responsibilities for Southeast Asian countries including the Philippines due to its aggression and colonial rule. In this special year which marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Tokyo trials, the once aggressor has failed to deeply reflect on its historical crimes. Instead, it has sent military forces overseas and fired offensive missiles under the pretext of security cooperation. This move once again proves that Japanese right-wing forces are pushing for accelerated remilitarization of Japan. They have repeatedly breached Japan’s exclusively defense-oriented policy and relevant rules in international and domestic laws. Some of their policies and moves have gone far beyond the scope of self-defense. The series of lack of education on true history, the fundamentally wrong historical views and the strategic attempts for military rearmament have led to the malevolent emergence of neo-militarism in Japan and threatened regional peace and stability. We urge the Japanese side to deeply reflect on its history of militarist aggression and honor its commitments and stay prudent in military and security areas.

🇨🇳🇯🇵🇵🇭 China didn’t "send a message," it delivered a verdict. “The atrocities must be remembered. The blood debts must be repaid. The justice must be delivered for crimes.” This is no longer the anger of civilians, it is the cold, institutional memory of a nation that buried 35 million of its people under fascist steel. The Pacific War never truly ended. How could it? Fascist Japan never truly confessed. And every attempt to revive militarism isn’t a threat to China, it is Japan digging up the corpse of its own past. As for the Philippines: When a nation that was slaughtered, starved, and enslaved now bows to the descendants of the same fascist empire… that’s not “moving on.” That’s colonial trauma wearing a fresh flag. They say China’s diplomacy is “getting sharper.” No, China is simply done pretending that history is a metaphor, it is an invoice, and overdue debts get collected. Fascism is not “returning” to Asia. It never left Japan, and China is reminding the region why it will never rise again.
