Tokyo may deploy around 1,000 cruise missiles to the southern Nansei islands in an effort to boost counterattack capabilities against Beijing, Yomiuri reports.

The missiles would be launched by ship or aircraft and would be able to reach the coastlines of both China and North Korea, the outlet claims.

Japan has boosted defense spending amid escalating tensions in the region caused by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s controversial visit to Taiwan.

    Apparently planned to finish deploying around 2024. Japan still dreaming about its imperialist days while under the chains of the US lol.

    There’s still a few centuries worth of blood debt they owe to the people of Asia.
