TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The United States is urging its ally Japan to boost its military capabilities and inform the public about the threat posed by China’s expansionist activity, with Washington also proposing new missile deployments to the region.
A senior U.S. military official speaking from Tokyo on Monday (Oct. 22) warned Japan about the antagonistic behavior displayed by China, especially in maritime regions where Beijing makes territorial claims. Last week at a security talk in Japan, U.S. officials also raised the prospect of deploying new ground-based intermediate range missile systems in the country.
