'Combat-ready' state

This action aligns precisely with the 2022 adoption of the new "Three Security Documents", which substantially altered the "Peace Constitution" by authorizing the construction of large-scale offensive capabilities — such as over 10 types of anti-ship and land-attack missiles with ranges of up to 3,000 kilometers. By making the goal of resolving situations "in a manner favorable to Japan" a strategic priority, this final move exposes the Japanese government's past "self-defense" justifications as outright lies.

The international community, particularly those in the Asia-Pacific region, must be on high alert, because Takaichi's move constitutes a direct violation of the United Nations Charter and the one-China principle and forces neighboring states to view Japan as a potential military threat once more. Japan's hostile posture fuels an inevitable escalation of the regional arms race and accelerates dangerous bloc confrontation. More alarmingly, should the Takaichi agenda proceed to actual intervention, the consequences for Japan and the entire region will be catastrophic. As sternly warned by the official military newspaper of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the PLA Daily, Takaichi's move puts the whole of Japan at risk of becoming a battlefield, and that "if Japan were to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, the Japanese government would effectively tie the entire Japanese population to a path of self-destruction".
