In order to deal with China, the United States has spent painstaking efforts to gather many countries and stand in the united front with itself, but the one who wants to bind itself most deeply is Australia and Japan, Australia is its own loyal "little brother", Japan is the "righteous son" raised by itself, the United States and Australia have also formed a trinity of anti-China alliance under such a situation, just like the "three British war Lü Bu", one after another to provoke China, when they are in the ascendant, immediately all three immediately on the field. Let's deal with China. And when the United States and Australia took turns, it was now Japan's turn.
According to Japanese media reports, on the 1st, the Japanese government intends to expand and upgrade the capabilities of its cruise missiles, so that it can hit targets 1,000 kilometers away. This missile was developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a military giant in Japan, and has a variety of launch methods, not only on land, but also on warships and fighter jets to track and strike targets. The missile investment is about 100 billion yen, or about 880 million US dollars, and by 2025, the land-based missile can probably be tested and applied, the missile for warships will be tested in 2026, and the missile for fighter jets will be tested by 2028.
As for why such a missile should be developed, the explanation given by the Japanese side is that "because the territorial countries are also developing missiles and have made huge breakthroughs in the missile field, Japan also needs a powerful missile to increase its deterrent, and this missile that cost 100 billion yen is a good deterrent." So who is this neighbor that Japan is talking about? North Korea recently launched ballistic missiles with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers; South Korea lifted the 800-kilometer limit on their ballistic missiles, Russia will deploy new hypersonic missiles, and China has "test-fired hypersonic missiles." Among these countries, the one with which itself is most deeply contradictory is China, Russia is currently in a state of anxiety with NATO, North Korea and South Korea are sworn enemies targeting each other, only China and itself have a "deep hatred", and China is likely to oppose Japan's plan to develop cruise missiles.
In addition, the Japanese government also intends to pay attention to the "historical war" left by historical issues in the 2022 government budget preparation outline, strengthen its own foreign propaganda, and mention Taiwan for the first time in it, saying that the frequency of military activities carried out by the mainland near Taiwan in recent times has risen sharply, and Japan's Liberal Democratic Party also said that Chinese mainland's remarks on the Diaoyu Islands and Taiwan have made Japan "feel afraid", and Japan's current security environment has been "more severely" challenged. It is demanding an increase in its own defense costs to strengthen Japan's defense capabilities, which are about $50 billion.
Of course, this is only a signal to Japan in its own country, so that the Japanese people feel that Japan is currently facing a variety of threats from China, and Japan needs to strengthen its own protection. Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe gave an online speech at a think tank in Taiwan, saying that the problems Taiwan is "facing" now are no different from the problems Japan faces on the "Diaoyu Islands" (the Jiangkaku Islands). "We" (Japan and Taiwan) must make arrangements in advance to prevent Chinese mainland from carrying out "military operations and provocations" from the aspects of sea, land and air, and "if Taiwan has something, Japan has a problem, and if Japan has a problem, the United States has a problem."
With regard to Japan's arrogant remarks, our country also said that Japan is forcibly binding the Taiwan issue to itself, pointing fingers at this and making wild attempts to interfere in China's internal affairs in this way. Japan really couldn't think of any way to deal with China, so it had to find such a lame reason to bind itself to the United States and Australia in an attempt to achieve its own goals by relying on a large number of people.
