ジョンさん：Mr Kishida announces Japans biggest defense expenditure since WWII. Taxes will be raised to pay for the weapons. How does Japanese public feel that Japan will be spending the third highest defense amount of any nation after US and PRC? Closer defense ties with Taiwan also announced. 俺：I have yet to confirm the information. But the Japanese conservatives have an ambivalent and contradictory idea that increasing the defense expenditure is OK, but tax increase is bad, it's OK as long as it's financed by JGB. And, Japanese in general, are thinking it's good to strengthen the self-defense with many more missiles which are to be launched onto the enemy's missile base preemptively, regardless of its denying of Chapter 9 and the breach of the international law. PM Kishida has a strong will to finance the expenditure by tax increase. But it is incurring the backlashes from the Abe faction. And it's undermining the support of the Kishida cabinet from the Japanese people. And he clarified that he will strengthen the ties with Taiwan, which had been ambiguous during the past cabinets. I think Kishida is honest person. ジョンさん：You would assume Abe’s minions would support increased defense expenditure and closer Taiwan ties! Unless they simply want to dethrone him for one of their own stable. 俺：A country with a tremendous government bond will easily go bankrupt if it depends on issuing additional government bonds to fight. I'm pretty sure we should have taken action when Hong Kong was dominated by China. Even with many more missiles, we would not be able to prevent China from attacking Japan. Do you think diplomacy cannot solve the problem or not ? As you pointed out, both the communism countries and LDP are gaining scores from the hard-line stance of each other. The shale oil has made the US free from being entangled with the Middle East. Why does Biden not focus on the Far East ? The problem is, the right wing believes that the government can issue JGB at little or no cost. And, furthermore, many of them believe the outstanding JGB itself is the asset, so there is no need to worry. If they understand the danger of issuing additional JGB, there would be some room for concessions with them.
