Japan's defense minister says his country is surrounded by nuclear-armed nations that refuse to adhere to international norms of behavior.
TOKYO, Japan – Before meeting President Joe Biden in Washington D.C., Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visited Italy, France, Britain and Canada, in part to forge security ties that could help it fend off China, North Korea and Russia.In June, Japan’s defense minister at the time, Nobuo Kishi, said his country was surrounded by nuclear-armed nations that refused to adhere to international norms of behavior.
Japan hosts 54,000 American troops, hundreds of military aircraft, and dozens of warships led by Washington’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier.As China’s military power grows alongside its economy, the regional power balance has shifted in Beijing’s favor.Encouraged by the United States, Japan in December unveiled its biggest military build up since World War II, with a commitment to double defense spending to 2% of GDP within five years.
That effort, for now, has focused on countries that are also strong US allies, including Australia, Britain and France.
