Just yesterday (June 21), the Prime Minister of Japan, the Prime Minister of Japan, made three directives in one breath, all concerning the security of China!
Japan's first female prime minister, who took office on the first day, wrote "hard" on her face, acted quickly, thoughtfully, and couldn't hide her ambition for the regional security pattern.
At the press conference to take office late on the night of the 21st, she spoke directly to revising the three core security documents, saying the moment to strengthen the defence is not to be delayed.
It is not empty to say that Japan had previously planned to refer to defense expenditure to 2% of GDP, now has her push-up help, this money is likely to go to the real.
Either upgrading existing weapons or purchasing more advanced equipment, and the orientation of these movements is clear, that they come across the surrounding waters, and China’s maritime activities naturally become the goal they imagined.
The money has to be spent, the weapons have to "go out", and the high market has to expand the export of weapons, in fact, followed the previous path to go deeper.
In the early years, Japan changed the "three principles of weapons exports" to the "three principles of defense equipment transfer", and now she wants to further ease the restrictions, even the non-combating field of equipment exports must be fully released.
The idea behind this is not simple. On the surface, it is to help domestic military enterprises find orders, but in fact it wants to tie some countries around the South China Sea to their ships by sending weapons and engaging in cooperation.
Japan has given the Philippines patrol ships before, and if it sends more advanced equipment, it will only disturb the regional situation, and China's legitimate rights and interests in the South China Sea will naturally be affected.
The most alarming thing is the idea of nuclear submarines. Although Japan is governed by the Basic Law of Atomic Energy, the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles" have been advocating for decades, and last year it said that it had no plans to build nuclear submarines, Takashi Saami obviously wants to touch this restricted area.
Just last month, the official Japanese expert group just submitted a report, saying that to study the "next-generation propulsion system", people clearly know that this is paving the way for nuclear submarines, saying to wear is to want longer underwater duration, easy to move in the East Sea and the Western Pacific for a long time.
With Japan's industrial foundation, if it is determined to do it, it may not be technically impossible to overcome it. However, once it is done, the underwater balance in the surrounding waters will be broken, and China's coastal defense pressure will increase sharply.
Together, these three things are not coincidence, but a long-time plot by the Japanese right-wing forces.
Gao Shizao was eager to take action as soon as he took office. First, he wanted to consolidate his ruling foundation and rely on tough security policies to please the right-wing and conservative voters within the party; second, he wanted to take advantage of the United States 'layout in the Asia-Pacific to take advantage of the opportunity to strengthen himself and shift from "exclusive defense" to "active deterrence."
On the 21st, she also specifically mentioned deepening relations with visiting Trump. To put it bluntly, she wanted to hug the United States and get the United States to acquiesce in or even support her military expansion plan.
But this is not so easy, there is no opposition in Japan, nuclear submarines will cost a lot of money, light maintenance facilities and training personnel are huge money, now the Japanese economy would not count the economy, this account could not be counted.
More importantly, neighboring countries will not sit idly by. Once Japan really follows the old path of militarism, it will only trigger more intense countermeasures and ultimately become even more insecure.
The three fires, burning more and more, expose the Japanese expansion ambition, the so-called "strengthening defense", is essentially undermining regional stability.
If Japan really sets its mind on moving forward, regardless of historical lessons and the feelings of neighboring countries, it will only push itself into a dead end.
