Japan lifts ban on exporting lethal weapons — a development that warrants serious concern!

For the first time since world war two, Japan has lifted bans on the exports of lethal weapons.

Previously, they did export weapons made with US technologies to USA under a specific treaty. But now, the country under newly elected PM is discarding all restraints on Japanese Army one by one, some of which even invited oppositions from USA itself.

The prime reason is growing threats of Chinese and North Korean Army in the region. Japan aims to be a dominant conventional power in the region and not relying on USA for that. Even US army insiders expressed concerns that Japan may have been building ready-made materials to assemble nuclear weapons if needs arise. They already have far potent enriched uranium than Iran.

Under the newly export law of military weapons, Japan is expected to deliver Mogami Class Frigates to Australian Navy. Indonesia and other countries have reportedly showed interests in Japanese weapons as well.
