China wasn’t just flexing its military muscles around Taiwan after US politician Nancy Pelosi made a surprise visit to Taipei in early August, much to Beijing’s irritation. Chinese missiles also flew as far as Japan’s waters – a warning to the government in Tokyo, which does not officially recognize Taiwan but maintains friendly relations with the democratic island state.
Japan is increasingly caught in the crossfire of a politically heated melee. To the south, China’s threatening gestures toward Taiwan, which also has Japanese islands in its immediate vicinity, are increasing. North Korea is testing more and more missiles east of Japan. After the start of the Ukraine war, Tokyo announced an increase in the defense budget. But now the offensive capabilities of the army are also to be expanded – despite a pacifist constitution that actually forbids this.
