Japan again asserted in the white paper on the basis of the stereotyped method that an “urgent threat” comes from the DPRK, China and Russia with their just measures for bolstering up their military capabilities.
This is nothing but shameless sophism to cover up the threatening entity of Japan which is escalating the regional situation in a gradual way and justify its reckless moves to turn itself into a military giant, leaving the whole area of the archipelago as a military outpost and logistic base for realizing the U.S. hegemony-oriented strategy in the Indo-Pacific.
It is the common knowledge that Japan formulated the possession of pre-emptive attack capabilities by revising the “national security strategy” and, for its realization, has speeded up the development of home-produced long-range missiles as well as the purchase of foreign-produced long-range missiles in recent years.
