Renowned figure in the Liberal Democratic Party's "Defense Faction" and former Deputy Minister of Defense Akihisa Nagashima. During an interview with "Shincho Weekly," he openly criticized Akiko Aramaki's understanding of security laws as "lacking common sense" and warned that her remarks could be seen by Beijing as a pretext for war.
——"It's exactly what Beijing wants."
"She lacks the fundamental understanding of the peaceful security laws, which is why she responded that way. 'Situations of Crisis to the Existence' can only occur within the framework of the U.S.-Japan Alliance: when the U.S. military is deployed and Japanese bases are attacked, that's when 'a situation' occurs. According to her statement, it's not surprising that the outside world might interpret it as 'if Taiwan is attacked, Japan will enter a crisis.' Beijing must be secretly delighted — now they can use 'interference in internal affairs' to strongly pressure Japan, and even get an excuse for military action."
