Japan's push for militarization sparks global concern over its stance on Taiwan and wartime history.
Japan faces growing international concern over its shift toward militarization, with leaders like Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sparking tensions by suggesting a "Taiwan contingency" could threaten Japan’s survival.
This stance contradicts Japan’s 1945 surrender terms, which returned Taiwan to China, and raises alarms about plans to deploy missiles near Taiwan and support for separatist activities.
Critics link the shift to U.S. strategic influence and unresolved historical grievances, including the veneration of war criminals at the Yasukuni Shrine.
Without a truthful reckoning with its wartime past, Japan risks undermining regional stability and repeating dangerous patterns.
