Central Broadcasting Network Beijing August 19 , according to Voice of China ” Global Chinese Radio Network ” report, ” Japan is not only began exporting weapons, but the idea is still very ambitious …… ” American ” Wall Street Journal ” recently unceremoniously pointed Abe government of Japan expand arms exports so-called ” ambition .”
Japanese media reports yesterday , Abe will convene ASEAN diplomatic and defense officials held a seminar in order to ” protect maritime security ” as the main topic of the next month , and the promotion of Japan’s defense equipment. This will be the Abe government has decided to relax restrictions on arms exports and Japan held the first meeting of the ASEAN countries to discuss arms exports :
Seminar will be to marine safety and security as the main issue , the Japanese side will introduce contribute Nissan marine security of ships and aircraft , and will be explained on the export policy, while listening to the views and demands of the ASEAN countries , which will be Abe Cabinet 4 in this first formal exchange of views with ASEAN months after the transfer of defense equipment by three principles . The Japanese government will be after the workshop , with the intention of equipment imported from Japan, ASEAN countries were consultations , while the signing of agreements on the transfer of equipment . At present, Japan has signed transfer agreements with the United States, Britain and Australia, the three countries .
April this year, the government abandoned Abe insisted nearly half a century of ” three principles of arms exports ” , takes effort to use the ” three principles of the transfer of defense equipment, ” instead , find a reasonable argument for the gate to open Japan’s arms exports :
April so far, but a few months time , Japan has been rapid progress in weapons exports , Japan and Australia signed an agreement to export dragon -class submarines will be Australian technology ; approve export missile parts to the United States and the United Kingdom to study aircraft missile technology ; currently Japan is also promoting exports to India US2 amphibious aircraft . Japan’s exports gradually lengthen the list of weapons , the outside world to see is a country under the banner of the name of pacifism , increasingly gearing up to hide .
Japan’s numerous military enterprises have very advanced technology R & D capabilities and production capacity, independent research and development of tactical missiles , tanks , ships , etc. in the world advanced level. Arms exports window bigger and bigger , but also means that Japan is open enough firepower to enter the international arms trade market :
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries , Kawasaki Heavy Industries , Toyota , Toshiba widely Chinese consumers are familiar with these Japanese companies , not only the production of elevators , cars, laptops, cameras and other products , but also has another identity , military enterprises . Japan does not have state-owned military factories , but there are more than 2,500 enterprises engaged in military production , constitute a vast military empire , one hundred of the world’s top-ranked military enterprises in Japan accounted for 7 . Over the past half a century , as a defeated Japan, semi- military semi- military-industrial complex and more people to show people civilian industries , subject to the SDF fewer orders , they can not export weapons dilemma , the Japanese military enterprises production line started a serious shortage , according to Stockholm International peace Research Institute , said Japan’s largest arms manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, 2012 revenues of $ 3 billion military , military contractors in the world , only ranked No. 29 , back in the late 1980s , the Japanese military companies after an investigation found that if lifting the arms export ban , Japan can at least occupy the international tanks and self-propelled artillery 45% market share , 40 percent of military electronic products , 60% share of military vessels , which will bring huge profits of the Japanese economy .
Although it may bring huge economic benefits , but radical approach Abe authorities still caused a lot of criticism in Japan . According to Japan , ” Asahi Shimbun ” reported , former LDP Secretary General Makoto Koga publicly criticized the Government to promote arms exports , said the move for a proud country of peace will bring immeasurable impact.
Makoto Koga said: “The defense minister and other senior government officials to promote arms exports , as if the river washed away the embankment , out of control I do not understand what they do …… for a pacifist targeted countries . this is a very regrettable . “
Abe eager to promote ASEAN countries to ” buy” the Japanese military equipment , he will come up with what weapons housekeeping ? Will sell work ? Military experts , Navy Expert Committee Major General Yin Zhuo , director of information analysis:
Yin Zhuo : Japan, this time with military contacts between ASEAN , ASEAN hopes that Japan can buy military equipment in Japan , I think this is Japan’s wishful thinking. Some Japanese are now able to sell the equipment number is not a lot , because the United States Patent his weapon of mass destruction , large equipment are used , he would like to be included with the sale of many ASEAN countries political conditions , and he has to go through the approval of the United States . He is now able to sell a large platform independent, such as US2 amphibious aircraft , and there are some that patrol boat , which is a small , ultra- small, some equipment , such as 1000 tons or less , to the patrol boat loaded some guns , do not install missiles. In addition, he may export some cooperation with the United States and other Western equipment companies , such as power is relatively small, for example, some of these minesweeping ships , minesweepers or use his foreign patents , the use of European countries and the United States , but these non-lethal the possibility of weapons could be approved is relatively large, and additional political conditions are not particularly harsh, these are the most likely to sell some of the equipment.
Japanese media reports said the Japanese government believes that if the ASEAN countries can enhance the defense capabilities , Japan’s security environment will be improved. Yin Zhuo pointed out that Japan that sell arms exports to ASEAN countries act , resulting in very unstable impact on the security situation in the region :
Yin Zhuo : Japan’s exports of such weapons to regional security is of course a negative impact , because the export of weapons and equipment in Japan this point he is very clear that the main point of that is for the Chinese . Another thing to pick neighboring countries in the South China Sea , with the purpose of export of such equipment , is likely to cause some negative impact on the region, especially in some special sold to neighboring countries in the South China Sea , such as directional out to Vietnam, to the Philippines , the Philippines and Vietnam are very clear , the United States and Japan combined in the ASEAN Regional Forum meeting, multilateral occasions against China , this time the United States and Japan to sell weapons , the United States is also prepared to ban antipersonnel weapons sales to Vietnam , the political intention is very clear , that is directed at China , a clear cause unstable security situation in the region.
