Japan White Paper News : Japan, a victim of the atomic bomb in World War II, has always been a supporter of world peace, but in the last few years it has become concerned about security in view of the increasing threat. Japan announced a record-breaking defense budget of $ 59 billion last year. The Defense Ministry said in an annual white paper on its security assessment that the Indo-Pacific region is facing the most serious and complex crisis since the end of World War II.

The white paper mentions regional tensions with China. China claims most of the areas around the South China Sea in particular. Japan's relations with China remain extremely tense. In the 572-page white paper, Defense Minister Minoru Kihara presented Tokyo's defense plans in a warning tone. The international community has entered this new era of crisis and is facing its biggest test since World War II.

Kihara called China's military activities and actions in the East China Sea, South China Sea and the rest of the Pacific the biggest challenge. The white paper makes it clear that the country is facing its biggest test since the end of World War II. Japan itself is experiencing a serious and complex security environment. Not only China but also North Korea's missile tests and missile programs have raised concerns. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un tested ballistic missiles, some of which fell into Japanese waters.

In Japan, North Korea's missile tests are being seen as a direct threat. Apart from China and North Korea, Japan is also keeping an eye on Russia's aggressive military activities far and wide. Japan has also become cautious due to the growing friendship between Russia and China. Japan's white paper has come after the defense agreement between Russia and North Korea. This agreement was signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Pyongyang last June.
