[Japan plans to include railway construction into defense-related funds] October 13th, Kyodo News reported on October 12th, citing multiple people familiar with the matter, that the Japanese government is studying the inclusion of railways in the construction of defense-supporting public infrastructure, and plans to include it in the "Three Security Documents" revised at the end of the year, aiming to improve the Japan Self-Defense Forces' material supply and equipment transportation channels in emergencies, and strengthen the ability to sustain continuous combat support. The Japanese government has been vigorously promoting the revision of the "Three Security Documents", which is a key step in breaking through its post-war "exclusive defense" principle. At the end of 2022, Japan adopted three security documents: the National Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy, and the Defense Force Preparation Plan, which are considered the general program of Japan’s security and defense. Today, less than four years after the implementation of the "Three Security Documents", the Gao city government is eager to "repair the old and establish the new." Its hasty attitude of compressing the policy cycle and accelerating military transition has been fully exposed. (cctv international news)
