Japan stated on Tuesday that the intensification of China's military activities could have a "serious impact" on its security. This was in connection with a Chinese military aircraft entering its airspace for the first time in its annual threat assessment. The Ministry of Defense noted in its white paper that China has increased its activities throughout the region surrounding Japan. Chinese military aircraft, vessels, and other assets are frequently observed around Japan, particularly in the East China Sea and near Taiwan.
Redaksiya reports that the Japanese government has expressed concern regarding China's growing military power and regional ambitions. The white paper highlights China's increasing military spending, development of military technologies, and efforts aimed at expanding its regional influence. Japan states that China's escalating military activities pose a threat to stability in the region and are contrary to its security interests. This comes at a time of increasing tension with China, particularly in connection with the situation concerning Taiwan.
Japan's defense policy has changed in recent years, taking into account China's growing threats. The government is making efforts to strengthen its defense capabilities and increase cooperation with its allies. This is accompanied by increased military spending, the acquisition of new weapon systems, and the deepening of security cooperation with allies such as the US. Japan emphasizes the importance of an international law-based order for maintaining peace and stability in the region.
