According to a report by Japan's Kyodo News Agency on the 20th, the Japanese government plans to establish a new legal entity closely related to defense in 2027. The preparation office is already in operation, and the relevant bill is to be submitted to the Diet next year. The agency will coordinate the export of defense equipment, cultivate emerging enterprises, strengthen the production base, and manage nationalized military factories. It also plans to follow the US model to purchase equipment from enterprises and re-export it. The move was questioned by the opposition party in Japan, which was accused of being reminiscent of an “arsenal” before World War II. Experts believe that its essence is to promote arms exports, reserve production capacity for protracted warfare, and promote security risks in the Asia-Pacific region.
