PM Fumio Kishida has decided on a defense spending hike of nearly 60% (16 trillion yen or $125 billion dollars) to Japan’s 2023-2027 budget, bringing Japan’s annual spending well over that of Russia. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party seeks to double the budget of the Self-Defense Forces within the next decade in response to mounting belligerence from Russia and China. 51% support the measure, and 42% all oppose it, according to a Japanese pollster.
Article 9 of the post-war constitution prohibits the use of war to settle international disputes, and prevents the existence of an offensive military. The LDP has previously advocated for the abolition of the article, and critics allege the new military plan - which would expand missile strike capabilities and bolster deterrence - is an unconstitutional violation of Japanese non-aggression. China has called the move a dangerous escalation and a threat to international peace, and Russia recently deployed missile defense systems to the disputed Kuril Islands.
So, NSG, thoughts? Is Japan justified in its military buildup? Is the region at risk, and why?

In my opinion, it's always better to leave a gun cocked, to defend yourself, than a gun with an empty cartridge, what Japan is doing is just wanting to protect itself, it has the right to arm itself, as other countries do, it's a matter of defending your nation from abroad.

There is a tremendous difference between owning a small caliber pistol for self defense and owning multiple machine guns.

The US forbid Japan from rearming after defeating them, then immediately asked Japan to forget about their silly or short sighted prohibition and rearm once the cold war got going, but Japan refused. Now they're seemingly finally ready to move beyond focusing only on economic progress.
Japan is effectively as rich as they're able to get, it is overdue to reinvest that money into their own defense and ambitions in that they've earned it. The alliance is still there, but now they're restoring their full sovereignty. This is not anything to fear. They'll be a splendid fellow power.
