EXTRA – Japan’s big military ambitions
Manage episode 401974820 series 32866
Japan is one of the world’s third biggest economic power, but until now its military power has come nowhere close to matching that.
That’s changing though, with a 5-year defence-spending spree to include new counter-strike capabilities which will enable Japan to fire on enemy land for the first time since World War Two.
Kate Gerbeau talks to the author of ‘Japan as a Global Military Power’, Dr Chris Hughes, about how capable Japan’s forces already are, what the extra spending will add, and why Britain is key to Tokyo’s plan for greater military might.
