flag Japan’s military expansion and historical denial spark international concern amid rising tensions with China.

flag Japan faces growing international criticism for its military buildup and historical revisionism, with 14 consecutive years of defense spending increases, relaxed arms exports, and discussions about nuclear weapons raising remilitarization concerns. flag Despite projecting a pacifist image rooted in its atomic bomb victimhood, Japan continues to downplay wartime atrocities like the Nanjing Massacre and the "comfort women" system, using euphemisms and minimizing aggression in textbooks. flag Recent provocative actions near Chinese military zones, including fighter jet incursions and false radar accusations, have fueled tensions. flag Critics argue Japan’s rhetoric contradicts its conduct, with leaders visiting the Yasukuni Shrine and promoting narratives that obscure its wartime legacy, prompting warnings from China about the dangers of unchecked militarism.
