Japan’s rearmament a dramatic policy change: Korea Herald
The paper says Japan’s new stance appears to have gone beyond self-defence defined under its pacifist constitution.

decision to acquire the capability to strike enemy bases, in Seoul on Dec 20, 2022.
SEOUL - As expected, Japan finalized the revisions to its three key security documents Friday, adopting a new security strategy that includes the possession of “counterstrike capability.” It will double its defense spending to about 2 per cent of gross domestic product.
It may be too early to say that Japan’s adoption of a new security change will be limited to purely defend itself against possible attacks from China, North Korea and Russia.
What’s certain, though, is that given Japan’s longstanding efforts to ditch its exclusively self-defence policy that had lasted since World War II, the latest changes to its security strategy herald gloomy geopolitical developments in the region.
Japan’s new stance of endorsing counterstrikes against imminent enemy attacks - pre-emptive strikes that it now justifies as constitutional - appears to have gone beyond self-defence defined under its pacifist constitution.
Not only security experts outside of Japan, but also liberal Japanese media outlets pointed out that the country’s exclusive self-defence policy has been critically undermined with the new changes to its three security documents that are usually revised every 5 or 10 years.
More worrisome is that Japanese politicians do not listen to such criticism based on facts and are expected to push for a revision to the constitution more aggressively - a gloomy prospect that will certainly accelerate military tensions in East Asia.
South Korea is one of the key military powers in the region, with its ground forces in particular showing off strong defence capabilities against North Korea’s threats. With the new security strategy, however, Japan is now bound to eclipse South Korea’s military power by doubling its defence budget to around 2 per cent of GDP, or 43 trillion yen (S$440 billion), through 2027. By then, Japan will be the world’s third-biggest military power in terms of defence budget following the US and China.
