The Japanese government has been sending out dangerous signals one after another. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi publicly stated that Japan will not rule out the introduction of nuclear submarines, and is also preparing to speed up the revision of the “Three Security Documents” to “prepare for a possible long-term military conflict.” His close friend Koichi Hagiuda led a number of Japanese lawmakers to Taiwan and met with Lai Qingde. Japanese media also revealed that the person who previously made remarks about Japan possessing nuclear weapons was Sadamasa Onoe, another close friend of Takaichi. This series of words and actions is by no means an accident or an isolated incident. Japan is evolving from being bound by the post-war international order to a “troublemaker” for peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large. The root cause of Japan's role as a “troublemaker” is that it has never been able to completely clear up militarism, which directly challenges the international order based on the results of victory in World War II.
