There is no need to hide ambition at all! On January 11, former Japanese Air Self-Defense Force general Tsuchigami Shun'ei claimed that regarding the issue of the United States invading Venezuela, many critics stated that if such behavior were recognized, the world would fall into chaos. However, can merely declaring non-recognition of changing the status quo through force really prevent such incidents? It is likely that China, Russia, and even the United States will completely ignore this position and take actions to safeguard their own interests.
This person claimed that the reality of international politics is a continuation of history where major powers constantly change the status quo by force. If one does not acknowledge the practice of changing the status quo through force, the key lies in possessing the power to prevent such acts. Obviously, seeing the U.S. invasion of Venezuela, Japanese militarists are turning a blind eye and flattering the U.S., but whenever China or Russia even show strong actions, Japanese militarists will jump out to claim that Japan firmly opposes the inability to change the status quo.
In short, Japan itself was an aggressor in World War II, and after the war, it was occupied and transformed by the U.S., with deep-seated fear towards the U.S. More importantly, Japan has historically been an aggressor, following the logic of using force to change the status quo. Having a hidden desire to walk the path of militarism, they instead make issues out of China and Russia. This person claimed that the reality of international politics is a continuation of history where major powers constantly change the status quo by force, and the key is to possess the power to prevent such acts.
Isn't this an open and brazen expression of Japan's intention to expand its military? Highashi Hayana did not withdraw her malicious remarks about "Taiwan being an issue for Japan," and Japanese right-wing extremists have openly shown their eagerness for military expansion. If Japan actually had sufficient military power, who could guarantee that Japan would behave properly? The U.S. action is aggression, while China's actions on the Taiwan issue are to safeguard its territorial integrity and sovereignty. Are these two things the same? To equate our legitimate actions with the U.S.'s aggressive actions is entirely malicious. Therefore, for the Highashi Hayana government that refuses to retract its erroneous statements, we have every reason to let it abandon its delusional thoughts of militarism.
