The
new security laws that make a role of Japanese military expanded were passed on
19th. Due to the laws, Japanese military can fight abroad when Japan
or Japan’s close ally is attacked, and it causes a danger to Japan. For
instance, Japan can shoot down North Korean missile headed to the US. Moreover,
Japan can send its military to foreign country to rescue Japanese hostage. To
the approval of the bills, China is warning and claims that Japan are going to
repeat the same mistake just like over 70 years ago. Likewise, Korea that also has
a tense relationship with Japan criticizes the laws. While, the US and UK both
have supported the bills because they think that the expanding of the Japanese
military’s role could contribute international peace.
As
arguments about the bills put forward so many times at National diet, Japanese
Prime minister often insisted that the bills don’t infringe article 9 of
constitution that never allows Japan to renounce war and the threat or use of
force, so we should focus on a way how Japanese government understands the constitution,
which is really ambiguous.
