Japan unveils biggest military build-up since World War II | DW News

Bloggers note: see transcript and the USA's international military complex is re arming the world with 

its old stock to make room in its new high tech production 

..

.....now Japan has unveiled plans for its

0:02

biggest military buildup since World War

0:04

II the government says it will double

0:07

defense spending bringing it up to the

0:09

NATO standard of two percent of GDP

0:12

Japan's move away from a self-defense

0:15

only stance comes as it seeks to counter

0:18

Regional threats it plans to acquire

0:20

long-range missiles capable of striking

0:23

China Beijing said the plans undermined

0:26

bilateral relations

0:30

and I'm very pleased to be joined Now by

0:32

tomahiko taniguchi is a professor at Ko

0:35

University graduate school and formerly

0:37

a special advisor to Japan's late prime

0:39

minister Shinzo Abe Professor tanaguchi

0:43

could you give us an idea of how

0:45

significant uh this announcement we've

0:48

just heard about is

0:51

it is not only significant but long

0:55

overdue because the street address and

0:58

zip code that you find around Japan

1:00

requires much much more insurance

1:03

premium

1:04

Japan is an immediate neighbor to Russia

1:08

North Korea and China

1:11

that's uh not something that you could

1:14

Envy and Russia is one third of Japan in

1:20

terms of in terms of economy but China

1:22

is growing still fast and it's already

1:26

four or five times as large as to pounds

1:28

economy and China is 10 times as big as

1:31

Russia as regards GDP and none of which

1:35

has ever exercised the democracy and

1:37

investing all of all of which are

1:40

investing very much heavily in nuclear

1:42

Arsenal so it's significant but uh

1:45

belated action so you've made very clear

1:48

that the main driver for this military

1:50

buildup is the perceived threat from

1:52

China also North Korea

1:56

um but doesn't this military build up by

1:58

a traditionally pacifist Japan actually

2:02

risk escalating tensions

2:06

tensions have already been escalated

2:10

very much by China Daily it's a daily

2:13

phenomenon that China is conducting very

2:16

much coercive uh action around the

2:20

Japanese territory Waters and Russia uh

2:23

it go it should go without saying that

2:25

Russia is building up its Arsenal and

2:27

Military capacity also on the Eastern

2:31

end of its uh huge land mass so uh it's

2:35

a belated response and much much more

2:37

has to be done

2:39

can you tell us how this um obviously

2:42

major policy announcement is going down

2:45

at home in Japan

2:48

60 percent

2:50

of those uh pulled do recognize that

2:54

there is a growing need for Japan to

2:56

build its uh defense capacity in

2:59

conjunction with its Allied Network such

3:02

as with the United States but when it

3:04

comes to how to fund those buildups

3:08

there is a division of sharp division of

3:11

opinions at the moment now Japan is also

3:14

actively seeking close cooperation with

3:16

the U.S for example to deter threats to

3:19

the established International order can

3:21

you give us a sense of what that

3:22

cooperation would look like

3:26

the United States has the largest ever

3:29

military footprint a solely in Japan so

3:34

without Japan the United States could

3:36

achieve very little when it comes to its

3:39

engagement in the indo-pacific area

3:42

Japan's chosen to be a force multiplier

3:45

in that sense by bringing itself closer

3:48

not only to the United States but also

3:50

to Australia and India and UK France and

3:54

Germany are also joining forces for that

3:56

matter

3:57

Professor tomahiko taniguchi thank you

4:00

so much for speaking to DW

4:02

thank you...
