In its largest defense shake-up in decades, Japan vowed to up security spending to two percent of GDP by 2027, reshape its military command, and acquire new missiles that can strike far-flung enemy launch sites.
But the changes could still be controversial as Japan’s post-World War II constitution does not officially recognise the military and limits it to nominally self-defensive capabilities.The moves are outlined in three defense and security documents approved by the cabinet Friday. That marks a significant increase from historic spending of around one percent and has sparked criticism over how it will be financed.
That has shifted with the continued growth of Chinese military might and a record volley of North Korean missile launches in recent months, including over Japanese territory. Other changes include the establishment of a permanent joint command for Japan’s armed forces as well as enhancement of the country’s coastguard.
And while Japan’s strategy document once called for enhanced ties and cooperation with Russia, it now warns that Moscow’s military posturing in Asia and cooperation with China are “a strong security concern”.
