    Japan proposes $51B defense budget, citing increased threats

    Japan proposes $51B defense budget, citing increased threats

    A record defense budget. Who do you think they are worried about?

    Chi-na?

    Japan's defense budget for the next fiscal year seeks a record $51.6 billion and includes plans to build an electronic warfare unit as a check against China.

    Tokyo's military budget, which has risen every year for the past nine years during Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's term of office, is rising 1.63% for fiscal year 2021, the Nikkei reported Monday.

    Japan's defense ministry has said the budget increase is "inevitable," citing increased threats in the region. Tokyo has previously said it is keeping a close watch on North Korean missile threats and Chinese activities in the South China Sea and near the Japan-claimed Senkaku Islands, known as the Diaoyutai Islands in China.


    Japan's wariness of China is growing as Beijing deploys more warplanes in the Taiwan Strait, a move that drew condemnation from President Tsai Ing-wen on Sunday.

    It is not only China that they are worried about, add the US to that if Biden wins.
