According to a report by Japan's Kyodo News Agency on September 20, citing sources, the Japanese government plans to establish a new legal entity in 2027. This new agency is “closely linked to defense.” According to reports, the new legal entity will promote the export of defense equipment in an integrated manner, cultivate related emerging enterprises, strengthen the production base, and also manage important nationalized equipment manufacturing plants. The report said that the relevant measures were questioned by some opposition parties in Japan, pointing out that they would be reminiscent of Japanese arsenals before World War II.
