Japan warns China-Russia Alliance has been the greatest threat since the Second World War

The joint operations between China and Russia combined with threats from North Korea represent the largest threat to the World Order since the Second World War, said the Japanese defense ministry in a new document.

“The existing order of world peace is seriously disputed, and Japan is found in the most serious and complex post-war security environment,” said Defense Minister Gen Nakatani in the annual document. “International society has been in a new era of crisis because it has faced the greatest challenges since the end of the Second World War.”

The biggest threats in the world are centered in Indo-Pacific, where Japan is located, and should worsen in the years to come, he added.

And in the midst of the questions on the role that Japan would play if the war had broken out between the United States and China on Taiwan, the Minister called the United States “key pillar of our national security policy and the cornerstone of peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region”.

Jiang Bin, a spokesman for the Chinese Defense Ministry, said on Wednesday that Japan “excited the” Chinese threat “and roughly interfered in the internal affairs of China”.

The Pentagon Policy Manager, Elbridge Colby, described the report as a “strategic and clear eyes assessment”.

The report also occurs a few days after Japan accused China of risking closely by flying by piloting its abnormally fighter planes near the Tokyo intelligence collection plane. China accused Japan to fly near Chinese airspace to spy on.

The presence of Chinese warships off the coast of southwest Japan has tripled over the past three years, including in waters between Taiwan and Japanese island near Yonaguni, the newspaper said.

Russia has embarked on joint activities with China involving planes and ships.

North Korea, on the other hand, represents “an increasingly serious and imminent” threat to Japan security, having developed missiles capable of transporting nuclear warheads in Japanese territory and intercontinental missiles that could reach the American homeland.

China accuses Hegseth of having married the “mentality of the Cold War” to label the country as a threat: “vilified”

Japan, in return, continues to strengthen its chains of the Southwest Island with long-range cruise missiles, including tomahawks made in the United States.

The overall military balance between China and Taiwan is “to switch quickly in favor of China”, according to the newspaper, and the defensive capacities of Taiwan are increasingly exceeded, in particular with the development by China of anti-access / zone-déni (A2 / ADs) and amphibious capacities.

“There is an increasing concern concerning the continuation of unification by China through the military activities of the gray area,” said the newspaper, referring to incrementally intrusion tactics without the launch of a large -scale war.

Japan considers Taiwan’s security as directly linked to his: the instability of the Taiwan Strait could disturb the vital sea routes to Japan.
