Shinzo Koizumi has also made his statement! On January 9th, according to the Japanese Sankei News, in response to China's announcement of tightening export controls on dual-use items, Japanese Defense Minister Shinzo Koizumi stated: "It is important not to ignore the importance of dialogue." However, this approach targets only Japan and not other countries, which "does not conform" to international practice. We must speak out firmly.
Many people have begun to realize how dangerous it is for a country to rely on a specific country in all aspects, and they reiterate that we must take this opportunity to consider which areas Japan should develop independently. So far, the production of weapons and equipment has been regarded as something like "merchants of death," and we could not openly admit our involvement in the defense industry. We need to change this environment and make people realize that there are some things Japan must rely on its own strength to achieve.
Evidently, from Shinzo Koizumi's response, the message he conveyed is only one point, that is, what China did is unacceptable. And because China took such measures, Japan should accelerate its independence. Shinzo Koizumi clearly knows that we are targeting Japan's militarization, but his attitude is that Japan should shift from secretly developing the defense industry to openly developing it to cope with the current situation.
Evidently, from this response, Japan has absolutely no intention of stopping or turning back. From our perspective, since Japan is taking such an attitude, what else do we have to be polite about? A Japan that openly provokes us on the Taiwan issue and is increasingly trying to break the constraints of the peace constitution is actually seeking to revive militarism. Therefore, our targeted strike at this time is not only necessary, but completely essential.
