flag Japan’s PM considers breaking nuclear non-proliferation principles, sparking backlash over defense policy and regional stability.

flag Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has drawn criticism for reportedly considering revising the nation’s Three Non-Nuclear Principles, which ban nuclear weapons production, possession, and introduction. flag The move, under discussion within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, could allow U.S. nuclear weapons on Japanese soil and boost defense spending past 2% of GDP. flag Critics, including former leaders, survivor groups, and experts, warn the change undermines Japan’s pacifist identity, risks regional instability, and could trigger an arms race. flag A petition with nearly 3.5 million signatures opposes any shift, while China condemned Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan as dangerous.
