Japan disbanded its military following its defeat in World War II and adopted a pacifist constitution that prohibits the country from engaging in war. Now decades later, Tokyo is significantly boosting its security spending, vowing to increase its defence budget to 2 per cent of its total GDP by 2027. The government says the move is in response to pressure from Japan's allies as well as its regional rivals.

If your opponent’s offensive power gets stronger then your defenses need to increase as well
When your neighbors are Russia, China, and North Korea, Japan is has to refresh its defense capabilities
As long as Japan do not aggravate the situation there will be peace.
As long as japan still host an US military base, they will always be seen as a threat by china.
@@LoC28CWith neighbours that are that unstable? Having the capability to defend is a must, no diplomacy would hold up if your neighbours are aggressive and think they can invade you easy peasy.

@@miokaya4595 something with the changing and polarizing landscape, they are really disgusted to see.
JAPAN IS A STRONG COUNTRY ❤
Japan really doesn't have a choice, but to prepare for war. An increasingly assertive China in the Pacific and North Korea threatening them constantly, leaves them no choice, but to prepare. Hopefully peace prevails. This is an extremely tough situation for Japan. Economy in turmoil, terrible demographics, inflation and big debt. I really hope nothing happens, but Japan has no choice.
As long as they stay on their knees like 😮 when the US comes calling, yes, they don’t have a choice.
You cant have a military under normal terms but you can under the self defense notion

Why do china are so focus on japan's military? Scared? or intervening sovereignty of a country like Philippines?

CCP knows that their many of their powerful neighbors are not fond them and their biggest ally in the north is not trust worthy. Being how corrupt and inexperienced the PLA is, they have to be scared because they can't achieve anything without playing the victim card.

0:32 The irony of flying Imperial Japan's flag while talking about Japan's pacifist constitution
It’s the flag of the Japanese Navy, not the Imperial Flag which had the rising sun in the center of the flag instead of the left-side of the flag like the Navy
its the official flag of their Navy, same like German Air force where they still use their logo from WW2
@@MealTeamSix_6I thought the rising sun flags have only been used by the respective branches on the military (i.e. Rising sun in the centre was the Imperial Japanese Army and rising sun to the left was the navy) and the imperial flag that represented the country was the hinomaru which is just the red dot in the centre.
@@MealTeamSix_6 That's the imperial flag rising sun. Google it.
@@Hatermo That's the rising sun flag. They used that during WW2 like you said.
China accuses Japan? same thing China say in Philippines too. The audacity for being the victim. hahaha
shhhh...winnie the pooh may cry😂
to imagine philipine is a sovereign due to colonialisation and had to form a central direct governance under authority of another nation is quite the question of why should they adhere to the claim regarding the rights of SCS
@@brandof123
To say the Philippines is getting orders from the Americans is false.
Well Japan tried to annex the Diaoyu islands from China in 2012. By "nationalizing" the islands, Japan admitted that they neither claimed them nor that the islands belonged to them previously. As such, Japan is already engaged in expansionism with U.S. support.
The Americans, Spaniards, and Japanese has all killed countless amounts of Filipinos through war and colonialist imperialism, the Chinese has traded with the Philippiness for a thousand years. Most Filipinos have Chinese blood. All of Philippines most famous dishes are based off Chinese ones, using Chinese ingredients. The Chinese has never colonized nor killed any Filipinos thru war or colonial acts. Yet the Filipinos despise their asian brothers and embrace their colonizers. Cant save these people....
Chinese military spending get 39 times higher since 30yo ago
And yet only care about Japan military spending
Well, its economy has grown by 22 times since 30 years ago.
China is not a defeated country in WWII and has the right to develop its military strength. Japan was an Axis power in WWII. Go read some history.
guess why germany not allowed to expand military
@@Mikketamakulo Japan maybe wary of its neighbor, which become economic and military power and start to say, ``Your island has been mine since ancient'
@@jakiecen Republic of China was founded by Mao Zedong in September 1949
Japan and Germany are sleeping superpowers. Both countries have high tech capability
And the risks of WW3 getting nearer....
The reason why the Japanese government and the majority of the people are willing to revise the Constitution is the unrealistic language that renounces the right to self-defense (the right to war in self-defense) and collective self-defense (the right to belligerence in conjunction with allied nations), which are basic national sovereignty guaranteed by the UN Charter.
The reason that no amendment has been made since then is because of the security treaty with the United States and the government's interpretation of the Constitution in accordance with the times, which made it possible to possess the right of self-defense and collective self-defense.
However, this amendment is now being discussed because it has become clear that NATO and the United States, the world's largest military alliance, were unable to stop Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, and that if Russia does not at least defend itself and resist, it will be abandoned by the rest of the world.
This was equally shocking to the people of Taiwan and South Korea.
The fact that China, a military power far more powerful than Russia, has clearly stated the possibility of a military invasion of Taiwan has turned us into realists.
We can no longer enjoy peace by merely proclaiming ideals.
We have seen the reality that no matter how much we encourage dialogue, write peace songs like John Lennon, and organize protests around the world, we cannot stop another country without effective military force.
All the words, "No one wants a war" and "There are no winners in war," have been trampled on and rendered worthless.
Over the past few decades, Japan has learned that its continued efforts to limit its military budget in order not to provoke China are pointless.
Even if Japan spent 2% of its GDP on the military, it would no longer be a fraction of China's military budget.
Therefore, we need to unite and work together with countries such as South Korea, the U.S., and Australia to deter China's military aggression.
Only by possessing and actually deploying a military force capable of unacceptable retaliation in the event of a military conflict with China can we hope to find a solution through diplomatic negotiations.
This is the most advanced theory of war deterrence.

*flashbacks intensify*
あの旗は戦争以前からあり、日本で大漁や祝いごとの際に使われていた。
その旗が軍旗として採用されただけで、帝国とは関係ない。
There are current LDP leaders who say Article 9 doesn't preclude nuclear weapons.
A fact that is often misunderstood:
The Japanese Constitution prescribes an exclusively defensive posture, but makes no provision regarding armaments.
It is a big mistake to think that the Japanese Constitution prohibits the possession of aircraft carriers or nuclear submarines.
did you not read 1:12? literally in the video. conservatives can play as many wordgames as they want, but any sensible reading of the constitution prohibits the ability to wage combat in any proper regard
to be clear, i'm not necessarily against the remilitarisation of japan. but let's not deny reality here.
America won't let Japan militarize. Only for defense. it's their agreement they made them sign. That American Base isn't just to protect Japan, it's to keep an eye on Japan as well. Sneaky America.
US needs Japans help and most Americans know Japan prefers peace
You woke up late. The US gave Japan a green light to increase its military forces and omit "self defense" and join active overseas operations in Africa or Arab peninsula.
And, they don't keep an eye on Japan, it's literally the frontier state, if North Korea or China is going crazy, like they already started to be since 2009 in SEA with the Philippines and Vietnam. And, now with Taiwan.

Their biggest threat is internal (the low birth rate) rather than external. A hyper aging society will plummet their pension system and economy. The same with Korea. External threats dont need to do anything anymore, theyll just let them be.
The google translate is going strong in the comments.
Japan repeatedly launched wars of aggression against China on the Korean Peninsula, causing a large number of innocent civilian casualties in these countries, and as a country that suffered deeply from Japan, it did not send troops after Japan's defeat, nor did it offer compensation. Is it wrong to be vigilant about Japan's military development today
Legends has said: Peace come at the cost of preparation of war ❤
3:38 "Japan's most pressing perceived threats: North Korea and China"
Wonder what happened in December of 1937? Did the Chinese army marched into Tokyo and killed 200,000 or 300,000 Japanese civilians?
China didn’t massacre 300k people in Tokyo like what Japanese did in Nanking
Japan was the expansionist aggressor then, China is now
The background music is excessive and distracting.
Pushing their limits in order to break their limits.
Ignorant thinking, Japan's several wars of aggression have caused great harm to many countries in East Asia, don't you all forget that ignorant people keep encouraging Japan to develop its military, and eventually history will happen again to those who are paralyzed and ignorant
China should self reflect a bit more on what it’s bringing to the table
But does Japan has enough of young people to join the military? Their youngsters are decreasing while their elderly people are increasing by the year. How can a country that is short of young people sustains a strong military?
Waiting for LastChang to say some BS 😂

Don't everybody find it funny that you always avoid to say "United States of America"?
This is bad we all know what japan capable of
The island China and Japan disputed is rightfully ROC’s or PROC’s since they was in Chinese possessions before the WW2 conquest, as per the treaty, all of the lands that Japan took were returned in 1945, and China demanded the same
The island was confirmed by Japan to be owned by no one but a private owner, and China reluctantly accepted it until the 1970s.
In September of 2012, Japan abruptly nationalized the island by Purchasing it from private owners even though it previously claimed it was Terra Nullius (Owned by no one, like Antarctica). This caused massive outrage and sparked protests in China, in response of this movement which China took as Japan expanding its own territory towards China and South China Sea, China claimed the island and interpreted the airspace as theirs, requiring entry to be permitted under Chinese permission only.
Well done Wiki

There is a secretive movement for restoration of the emperor among young Japanese JSDF officers and cadets. They are preparing a coup d’etat to get rid of the LDP with a military bakufu style Junta government with the emperor as commander in chief. They have the ultimate goal of securing the Kuril Islands for japan along with all of Sakhalin. They also have plans for clandestine operations within Kamchatka to get the Russian ethnic minorities to revolt.
Japan needs normal Armed Forces and normal Constitution. 1945. was a long time ago.
What an uncivilised time to live in
don't always depend on the constitution. depends on data, information, logic, intuition, understanding and truth. Rise of China, Russia and North Korea happened because Japan is sleeping in asia. Japan should deal with China in asia. South Korea should deal with fatman. The US should deal with Russia. Israel should deal with Arabs.

@@frankyfeuilles3511 then Korea can cry, it’s their flag since post WW1 idk what you want lol
@frankyfeuilles3511 they're already cooperating as said in the video
Two important points missed in this analysis: 1) Japan has only claimed the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands since 2012. By "nationalizing" the islands, they recognized that the islands were NOT a part of Japan and not claimed by Japan before 2012. As such, their claim was pure expansionism, supported by the U.S. 2) It's true that China claims Taiwan as its territory, but it is also true that most of the world does as well, and that the United Nations officially recognizes Taiwan as a "Province of China".
China is Province of Taiwan
1. Pure expansionism of Japan over islands can't even match to 1/10 of China's pure expansionism. You have no say. 2. I think Taiwan is a part of China. What else are they?

To be honest, Japan's pacifist constitution is de facto dead, both Korea and Red China already have equally strong militaries so Japan must also have an equally strong military to balance it out.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine also proved that relying on external forces to protect Japan was not that great, the West's little aid to Ukraine proved the West's lack of commitment to protecting "like-minded countries".
The fascism is coming back.
All of you guys need to educate yourself about the rising flag sun. It's not offensive.
Yep, Imperial Japan said the same.
Idk man, I don't think anyone bothers to count the rays or anything, they'll still be offended based on how similiar it looks and nothing can be done about that unless they change the flag completely, but that is a minor issue, too minor.
