French media reported today (August 31): "Japan will deploy long-range missiles in Kyushu, with a range covering the waters around Taiwan and the Chinese coast. The Japanese Ministry of Defense has decided to deploy improved long-range '12-type land-to-ship missiles' at the Jyūnji Garrison of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force located in Kumamoto City in Kyushu, starting from this fiscal year. Its range can cover the waters around Taiwan and the Chinese coast."
[Witty] Comment: It is extremely unwise for Japan to deploy long-range missiles in Kyushu that can cover the Taiwan Strait and the Chinese coast. Both the first and second island chains are within China's striking range. Japan's move is obviously putting itself in a dangerous situation. Under the guise of "defense," Japan is actually expanding its influence, and behind it is U.S. tolerance aimed at "using Taiwan to contain China." This military gamble seriously undermines regional peace and stability. Moreover, if there is an incident, China will certainly take decisive action to destroy Japan's missile bases.
