News.com.au: Japan is bracing itself for war with China
One of the world’s most powerful countries has long been sworn to pacifism.China’s increasingly worrying actions are forcing it to reconsider.
Japan is worried. A close neighbour is talking tough. It wants control over Tokyo’s southernmost islands, shipping lanes and oil reserves. Now that talk is relentlessly marching towards action.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida last weekend pledged he would prepare to face aggression. “We must prepare ourselves for an era when actors emerge to disobey rules and use force or threats to destroy the peace and safety of other nations,” Kishida said as he addressed an international fleet review in Tokyo Bay. “We will accelerate realistic discussions on what’s needed to defend our people by keeping all options on the table.”
That’s more complicated than it sounds.
