China and Japan are tense, Japan decides to invest in more weapons

Tensions between China and Japan led to Japan's biggest military buildup since World War II. The government said it would double defense spending, bringing it to the NATO standard of 2% of GDP. The bitter confrontation between China and Japan that led to Japan's abandonment of its 'self-defense only' stance comes as it seeks to counter threats in the region. Japan plans to buy long-range missiles capable of hitting China. Beijing says the plans undermine bilateral relations.
