According to CCTV's comprehensive report on the 17th, Japan's defense expenditure in 2025 may exceed 8 trillion yen (about 388.3 billion yuan) for the first time, setting a new record high. The Japanese government's previous plan showed that from 2023 to 2027, the Japanese government's five-year defense expenditure is expected to reach a total of about 43 trillion yen (about 2 trillion yuan), nearly 1.6 times the previous five years. It is reported that Japan's soaring defense spending will be used to significantly enhance the "defense capabilities" of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in seven key areas, while also purchasing more advanced equipment such as Aegis warships, long-range missiles, and F-35 stealth fighters, and strengthening the defense capabilities of the southwestern islands near Taiwan. In addition, there are signs that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces will also switch from the current voluntary "recruitment system" to a mandatory "conscription system." So, which country is Japan going to attack with such a large-scale military expansion? Why did the Self-Defense Forces change to the "unconstitutional" "conscription system"?

Japan claims that the security environment around its country is "bad" in order to achieve its military expansion goal
