Recently, Japan’s government explicitly stated in its new National Security Strategy and related defense documents that it will enhance its defense capabilities in the Pacific region. This shift marks a significant evolution in Japan’s security policy, moving gradually from its traditional ‘exclusively defense-oriented’ posture toward a more proactive role in regional security. The documents highlight that in response to China’s expanding military activities, North Korea’s missile threats, and uncertainties surrounding the Taiwan Strait, Japan must strengthen its defense posture in the southwestern islands—including Okinawa and more remote islands in the Nansei chain—and improve interoperability with allies such as the United States. Specific measures include raising defense spending to 2% of GDP, acquiring long-range strike capabilities (such as cruise missiles), and deploying more Self-Defense Forces personnel and radar surveillance systems on remote islands. Additionally, Japan plans to deepen security cooperation with Indo-Pacific partners like Australia and the Philippines to build a broader regional deterrence network. While aimed at maintaining regional stability, these moves have raised concerns among neighboring countries about Japan’s military normalization and the potential for an arms race in the region.
近期，日本政府在新版《国家安全保障战略》及相关安保文件中明确提出，将强化在太平洋地区的防卫能力。这一调整标志着日本安全政策的重大转变，从传统的‘专守防卫’逐步转向更具主动性的区域安全参与。文件强调，面对中国军事活动的扩大、朝鲜导弹威胁以及台海局势的不确定性，日本需加强西南诸岛（包括冲绳及更远的南西诸岛）的防卫部署，并提升与美国等盟友的协同作战能力。具体措施包括增加防卫预算至GDP的2%，引进远程打击能力（如巡航导弹），以及在偏远岛屿部署更多自卫队力量和雷达监控系统。此外，日本还计划深化与澳大利亚、菲律宾等印太国家的安全合作，以构建更广泛的区域威慑网络。此举虽旨在维护地区稳定，但也引发了周边国家对日本军事正常化及地区军备竞赛的担忧。
