Japan’s push to revise the “Three Security Documents” threatens regional peace and stability

The Japanese government continues its “remilitarization” actions. According to Japanese news, Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its governing partner, the Japan Reform Association, held their first working-level consultation on the 10th regarding the revision of the "Three Security Documents." It is reported that the two sides discussed the direction of strengthening defense and diplomatic forces around the current security situation.

Japan's Liberal Democratic Party and the Reform Council discuss revising the "Three Security Documents". What are the main issues involved? What's the plot behind it? What harm will it cause to regional peace?

Issues such as the "Three Non-nuclear Principles" have become the focus

It is reported that the main topics discussed by the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan and the Japan Reform Association on the 10th around the revision of the "Three Security Documents" include: the positioning of the "Three Non-nuclear Principles", the issue of nuclear-powered submarines, and the setting of new defense spending targets. The Reform Council called for a "realistic discussion" on the statement "not transporting nuclear weapons" in the "Three Non-nuclear Principles" and proposed the early introduction of nuclear-powered submarines to strengthen deterrence.

The Japanese government also stated that Japan will improve its "denial power" and make the use of artificial intelligence a priority. "Denial force" is what Japan calls "denial defense force", which refers to Japan's ability to prevent it from achieving its combat objectives even if it is attacked by other countries.

According to multiple relevant sources, the next meeting of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party and the Reform Council will involve the basic strategy of the defense industry and the establishment of new companies to strengthen the equipment production base.

Japan attempts to carry out nuclear armament and strengthen comprehensive offensive capabilities

Wei Dongxu, Taiwan Military Observer: There are two major conspiracies in Japan's attempt to modify the "Three Security Documents". The first conspiracy is an attempt to carry out nuclear armament. On the issue of the "Three Non-nuclear Principles", Japan tried to skirt around the edges and introduced the US military's nuclear weapons through exceptions. Once the US military's nuclear weapons are deployed in Japan, the Self-Defense Forces will next propose so-called "nuclear sharing." Jointly use the tactical nuclear weapons deployed by the United States in Japan to deter and carry out nuclear intimidation against neighboring countries and regions. Now the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is also seeking to equip attack nuclear submarines. Once equipped with such attack nuclear submarines, the Maritime Self-Defense Force can conduct secret operations underwater and conduct underwater raids or underwater sneak attacks on surrounding areas. The second conspiracy is to use new technologies and new means to strengthen its comprehensive offensive capabilities. It is necessary to equip a large number of unmanned combat platforms and introduce military-grade artificial intelligence systems to strengthen its long-range firepower strike capabilities and large-scale combat capabilities.

Japan's military provocation threatens regional peace and stability

Wei Dongxu, Taiwan Military Observer: Japan has taken more provocative actions at the military level, which will have a negative impact on regional peace and stability. Moreover, such words and deeds and related plans that are hostile to its neighbors will only intensify camp confrontation in the region and even trigger military friction. Japan is now taking more and more military actions, and its policy adjustments and military expansion have been combined, which deserves the vigilance and attention of relevant countries in the region.
