Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has vowed to bolster Japan’s Self-Defense Forces to cope with security threats posed by China and North Korea, renewing his pledge to consider “all options,” including acquiring enemy base strike capability.
Japan’s security situation has been rapidly changing, Kishida said at his first troop review, describing the reality as more severe than ever, citing North Korea’s missile threat and China’s increasingly assertive maritime activity in the region.
