Bold Moves Forge Strategic Shifts
Recent actions taken include increasing defense spending to 2% of GDP, a shift that elevates the country's defense budget status to the third largest globally, with a focus on equipment and weapons. Key developments involve acquiring counter-strike capabilities, lifting export restrictions on weapons to non-conflicted third-party nations, and normalizing relationships with South Korea and the U.S. through a strategic trilateral partnership. Additionally, three national security documents have been rewritten, indicating a substantial departure from 70 years of policy without significant public protest. This underscores a fragile U.S. military industrial base, particularly in shipbuilding, highlighting an urgent need for improvement, where Japan could play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges.
