BEIJING — Japan has played up so-called “external threats” in recent years and greatly boosted its defense budget, and this tendency to return to the path of militarization is “very dangerous”, China’s defense ministry said on Thursday. Japan should stop doing things that harm regional peace and stability, Tan Kefei, spokesman at the Chinese defense ministry, said at a media briefing.Japan, which renounced war in 1947, last year unveiled a five-year $315 billion military expansion to deter Beijing from using force in the East China Sea amid growing concern Russia’s attack on Ukraine could embolden China to invade Taiwan.

Last month, Japan said it suspected Chinese surveillance balloons had entered Japanese territory at least three times since 2019.

Nope, Japan has changed for good after WWII while China became the most bully in Asia since CCP military capability becomes powerful. Japan will be on the right side of history the next time around while the communists led China is very dangerous and can't be trusted at all.

Takot?

Weeee

Aba China lang ba ang may karapatan palakasin ang kanilang military para kayang mang bully sa ibang bansa!

China's aggressive bullying and provocative actions in the West Philippine Sea and the East China Sea forced Japan to tread the path of militarization.

Japan has the right to defend their existence,just like China which is spending big money in their external and internal defense.

It doesn't do anybody good for you to parrot Chinese propaganda, . Have some self-respect.

Sorry China, your intention to become Imperial has been exposed.

Reuters YOU just have so many adjectives for others and until now is not understanding that it is all because of YOU and YOUR ACTIONS! So stop with the unsolicited feedback!

Reuters Dangerous? Why? Because they will have the capability to defend themselves from China? Better be clear with your statement, China.
