According to a report by Japan's Kyodo News Agency on August 21, in the 2027 fiscal year from April 2027 to March 2028, the total amount of budget applications from Japanese government departments and agencies is expected to exceed 130 trillion yen, a significant increase from 122 trillion yen this fiscal year. Among them, Japan's Ministry of Defense's budget application has reached a record high, and is expected to reach about 8.9 trillion yen, and the final defense budget may increase further. Japan's arms expansion trend compounded the risk of fiscal imbalances, causing concern in various circles. What is more alarming than the continuous updating of defense budget records is that Japan's Ministry of Defense plans to use large sums of money to introduce offensive weapons and build “new methods of warfare,” and the trajectory of Japan's “re-militarization” is clearly evident.
