Japan is increasingly hell-bent on military buildup.
Under the pretext of “defence vacuum” created by the withdrawal of the plan for deployment of Aegis Ashore, the ground-based missile defence system, Japan is trying to build a special warship to provide against ballistic missiles and equip itself with missiles with the range of over 500km by 2022.
The revelation of its ambition to possess the “enemy base attack capacity”, which is advocated by Japan after the withdrawal of Aegis Ashore deployment plan, is a dangerous move to wrecking regional peace and stability.
Japan converted all its armed forces into offensive-oriented ones beyond the confines of exclusive defence on the pretext of protecting itself from the threat from neighbouring countries.
The Japanese Self-Defence Forces have already attained the level of military powers in terms of long-range transport capacity, air force, space operation force and missile attack capacity.
In the near future, the world will face substantial threats if the vessels of the Maritime Self-Defence Force loaded with all kinds of missiles roam around the five oceans of the world, to say nothing of its surrounding waters, under the excuse of intercepting “enemy missiles”.
Though Japan argues for “self-defensive counterattack capacity” and “proactive self-defensive capacity” to evade the blame of the world, it can never cover up its ill intention lurking behind them.
Japan’s arms buildup plan is nothing but an attempt to widen the striking scope of its maritime force and put its neighbouring countries in a constant striking range in order to rapidly provide favourable conditions for the invasion of the Asian continent.
Recently, Japanese politicians did not conceal their preemptive striking scheme, saying “any country, which is going to break the maritime order, will have to pay dearly for that” and “Japan has to possess the capacity for checking the ballistic missile launch even in the territory of an opponent country”.
It is the same old trick of Japan to aggravate the regional situation and realize its wild ambition of overseas expansion inch by inch.
