Japan remilitarization threatens regional stability

An opinion piece argues that a remilitarized Japan under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi poses a threat not just to China but to regional stability. It criticizes US-led freedom of navigation operations in the Taiwan Strait as provocative, despite their legal justification. Takaichi's recent remarks about potential military intervention in a Taiwan crisis have escalated tensions with Beijing. The article warns that exercising military rights without restraint could lead to unintended conflict.
