Japan has been increasing its defence spending in response to China's military buildup.
Japan’s latest defence white paper, released on Tuesday, warns of China’s growing ability to sustain military operations farther into the western Pacific Ocean. The 610-page document highlights Beijing’s strengthening of its aircraft carrier force and improving capacity for distant sea and airspace operations.
In response, China’s defence ministry spokesman, Chen Xi, labelled the white paper as having “false narratives” and hyping the “so-called China threat”. Chen accused the Japanese government of a “vain attempt” to embed arms expansion and war preparations into national institutions, calling it “neo-militarism” that challenges the post-war international order and threatens regional peace. He urged Tokyo not to continue down the path of re-militarisation.
