Japan says the strategic challenge posed by China is the biggest it has ever faced.
Besides Beijing, Japan has two other nuclear-armed neighbours in North Korea and Russia.
It has expressed concerns about intensifying Russian military activity in its far east, even as Moscow presses on with its war against Ukraine.
And a North Korean missile flew over Japan in October.
Japan wants to significantly increase its military spending, targeting $315 billion in the next five years, or 2 percent of its GDP.
But Tokyo's plans are a reminder of an imperial past when it occupied the Korean peninsula and parts of China and seized all of East Asia during the second world war.
So, what does the new military drive mean for Japan's Pacifist Constitution?
Presenter: Laura Kyle
Guests:
Kotaro Tamura - Adjunct Professor at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore. He is a former senator with Japan's Liberal Democratic Party.
Nancy Snow - Communications Director, International Security Industrial Council. She's also a Foreign Policy Advisor to the Japanese Government.
David Arase - Resident Professor of International Politics at The Hopkins-Nanjing Center of the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.

Some say the military is for when diplomacy fails. I have come to learn that the military is often part of a diplomatic strategy. Japan is already pretty strong by virtue of the high quality of its troops. Bolstered with new, high-tech equipment to increase their capability they will shore up being a regional (and global) superpower.

This is expected, just very late. The USA has been pressuring Japan to renounce the very pacifism they imposed on it since the 1950s. It's not a question if this is needed, it's a question if Japan will even have time to re-arm before they must put their cards on the table.

While I've never been a fan of geopolitics, I can't help but draw upon the lessons and history that we have learned about our country Singapore and how WWII spanned the entire region. Fast forward a few decades later, what China is currently doing brings back memories (from documentaries of WWII in the Pacific) of the late-1930s. Tensions are rising and building up like a volcano. While I'm not wishing for it, or remotely want it to happen, you can feel the pressure rising and it's just a matter of time before something major happens in the region. As a Singaporean, I am grateful that our government has done an amazing job to remain neutral geopolitically speaking, and that has brought so much stability. But one cannot deny, the next decade feels a little uncertain.

Talking about politics in Japan is like a deadly sin, 95% think that conversation is awkward, I've been trying a lot to talk about politics in bars, but they find the conversation in bad taste, they even told me that if I don't I like Japan why I still live in Japan.

When too much attention is being given to the Japanese increase in its defensive budget, I am reading that people take this initiative by Japan as a serious undertake since Japan is a very determined adversary if it comes to a point of being attacked and Japan would respond to it. I also feel that when Japan starts to focus on beefing up its defenses and stranghtening its armed forces nations will take notice that it means business and not just an empty promise. Japan has to do what is best for its people and country for the survival of the nation to live peacefully.

I am Taiwanese. The China air fighter invade the border of Taiwan everyday.The purpose of China's invasion of Taiwan is to build Taiwan into a military base for future wars against Japan and the United States, and to serve as a springboard for China to break through the first island chain defense line. Taiwan and Japan are strategically located as a community with a shared future. It is necessary for the two countries to cooperate in the military and establish a military alliance.

And China has more nukes than USA. Since Japan is not allowed to have any offensive weapons. So what we Japanese do is just watch how China conquer Asia countries and others. Since historically Asia countries used to belong to China and Japan was national isolation. Asia is just going to return to the original situation. Although cunning westerners want war (Japan vs China). Do not use Japan . If west want war with China, do it by your self.

This is not about defense obviously. It’s not like a weak small country trying to survive. Yes we have a land dispute with both china and Russia and that is a problem. But we are willingly giving the US a massive landmass for their military bases and it’s legitimately a threat to our neighbors concerning history. Abe Shinzo had been dying to change the peace constitution for all his time as a prime minister long before the invasion but he couldn’t do it. And now this national security doctrine is unconstitutional but there’s no strong opposition because people have not been paying much attention to politics so as to consider the meaning of US military presence in Japan. And people was shocked by the invasion and are scared so the LDP is taking advantage of this crisis. The content of the papers are again unconstitutional and emphasizing the complete alignment with the US, they are so inseparable that it refers to journalism and anti war movement as a threat, like the US. Of course Japanese government doesn’t want a war (I guess), but it seems they have given up the face of peace and starting to prepare for when the US goes military with the Taiwan situation.

Furthermore, electricity needs will increase even more if society tries to completely electrify all of the things that were being done by fossil fuels, such as heating, industrial processes, and transportation. Renewabes cannot manage this demand. We will need some form of nuclear to help them out.
