Is Japan Preparing to Fight a War? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

This week, Japan has made a series of moves to strengthen its war fighting machine. Tokyo is planning to 16 ports and airports. Reports say the expanded facilities could serve as staging areas for Japan’s Self-Defence Forces and the Coast Guard. This comes after Tokyo decided to lift curbs on the exports of lethal arms. Tokyo plans to sell a new fighter jet – which is being developed in collaboration with the United Kingdom and Italy. These moves are being seen as a break away from Japan’s pacifist values. Palki Sharma tells you more.
