媒体报道摘要： 这篇报道主要介绍了日本内阁批准创纪录的国防预算，以应对中国带来的紧张局势。该预算计划在2026财年增加9.4，达到9万亿日元（约580亿美元），旨在增强日本的反击能力和沿海防御。报道提到日本首相高市早苗此前曾表示，如果中国对台湾采取行动，日本可能会介入。日本将购买远程导弹无人机等武器，并计划与英国和意大利联合开发下一代战斗机。报道还提到中国在太平洋地区的军事扩张，以及中日两国在东海岛屿等问题上的紧张关系。 评论： 这篇报道以日本视角出发，强调了中国带来的所谓威胁，而忽略了中国自身合理的安全关切。报道中提到的日本首相高市早苗的言论，以及日本增加国防预算和加强军事力量的举措，都是在美国施压下进行的，反映了日本追随美国遏制中国的战略。报道中关于中国在太平洋地区的军事扩张和中日两国在东海岛屿等问题上的紧张关系，缺乏客观事实和证据，而更多的是以日本单方面的观点进行描述。中国作为一个大国，有权维护自身的安全利益，而日本在历史问题上的态度和军事力量的扩张，才是地区紧张局势的真正根源。该报道有失偏颇，缺乏对中国立场的理解和尊重，有故意渲染中国威胁论的嫌疑。

摘要
1. Japan’s Cabinet OKs record defense budget that aims to deter China
中文标题：日本内阁批准创纪录的国防预算，旨在威慑中国
内容摘要：日本内阁近日批准了一项创纪录的国防预算计划，预算超过9万亿日元（约580亿美元），旨在提升反击能力和沿海防御。该预算较2025年增长9.4%，是日本五年计划中的第四年，目标是将年军费开支提高到国内生产总值的2%。日本面临来自中国的紧张局势，首相高市早苗表示，日本军方将可能介入中国对台湾的行动。 新预算将超过9700亿日元用于强化远程打击能力，其中包括1770亿日元用于采购新型地对舰导弹，计划到2026年实施。为应对日益严峻的安全形势，日本还计划部署无人机系统。 此外，日本还在加速与友好国家的联合研发，推动国防工业的发展。尽管预算需要国会批准，但政府计划通过提高企业税和烟草税来筹集资金，未来军费增长的美好前景仍不确定。
Japan’s Cabinet OKs record defense budget that aims to deter China

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s Cabinet on Friday approved a record defense budget plan exceeding 9 trillion yen ($58 billion) for the coming year, aiming to fortify its strike-back capability and coastal defense with cruise missiles and unmanned arsenals as tensions rise in the region.
The draft budget for fiscal 2026 beginning April is up 9.4% from 2025 and marks the fourth year of Japan’s ongoing five-year program to double annual arms spending to 2% of gross domestic product.
The increase comes as Japan faces elevated tension from China. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said in November that her country’s military could get involved if China were to take action against Taiwan, the self-governing island that Beijing says must come under its rule.
Takaichi’s government, under U.S. pressure for a military increase, pledged to achieve the 2% target by March, two years earlier than planned. Japan also plans to revise the ongoing security and defense policy by December 2026 to further strengthen its military.

Missiles and drones will add to southwestern island defense
Japan has been bolstering its offensive capability with long-range missiles to attack enemy targets from a distance, a major break from its post-World War II principle limiting the use of force to own self-defense.
The current security strategy, adopted in 2022, names China as the country’s biggest strategic challenge and calls for a more offensive role for Japan’s Self-Defense Force under its security alliance with the U.S.
The new budget plan allocates more than 970 billion yen ($6.2 billion) to bolster Japan’s “standoff” missile capability. It includes a 177 billion-yen ($1.13 billion) purchase of domestically developed and upgraded Type-12 surface-to-ship missiles with a range of about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles).
The first batch of the Type-12 missiles will be deployed in Japan’s southwestern Kumamoto prefecture by March, a year earlier than planned, as Japan accelerates its missile buildup in the region.
In part due to Japan’s aging and declining population and its struggles with an understaffed military, the government believes unmanned weapons are essential.
To defend the coasts, Japan will spend 100 billion yen ($640 million) to deploy “massive” unmanned air, sea-surface and underwater drones for surveillace and defense under a system called “SHIELD” planned for March 2028, defense ministry officials said.
For speedier deployment, Japan initially plans to rely mainly on imports, possibly from Turkey or Israel.
Tension wit
h China grows
The budget announcement comes as Japan’s row with China escalate following Takaichi’s remark in November that Japanese military could get involved if China were to take action against Taiwan, the self-governing island that Beijing claims as its own.
The disagreement escalated this month when Chinese aircraft carrier drills near southwestern Japan prompted Tokyo to protest when Chinese aircraft locked their radar on Japanese aircraft, which is considered possible preparation for firing missiles.
The Defense Ministry, already been alarmed by China’s rapid expansion of operations in the Pacific, will open a new office dedicated to studying operations, equipment and other necessities for Japan to deal with China’s Pacific activity.
Two Chinese aircraft carriers were spotted in June almost simultaneously operating near southern Japanese island of Iwo Jima for the first time, fueling Tokyo’s concern about Beijing’s rapidly expanding military activity far beyond its borders and areas around the disputed East China Sea islands.
Japan plans joint development of frigates and jets
Japan is pushing to strengthen its largely domestic defense industry by participating in joint development with friendly nations, and promoting foreign sales, after drastically easing arms export restrictions in recent years.
For 2026, Japan plans to spend more than 160 billion yen ($1 billion) to jointly develop a next-generation fighter jet with Britain and Italy for deployment in 2035. There also are plans for research and development of AI-operated drones designed to fly with the jet.
In a major boost to the country’s defense industry, Australia selected Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in August to upgrade Mogami-class frigate to replace its fleet of 11 ANZAC-class ships.
Japan’s budget allocates nearly 10 billion yen ($64 million) to support industry base and arms sales.
Meeting targets but future funding uncertain
The budget plan requires parliamentary approval by March to be implemented as part of a 122.3 trillion yen ($784 billion) national budget bill.
The five-year defense buildup program would bring Japan’s annual spending to around 10 trillion yen ($64 billion), making it the world’s third-largest spender after the U.S. and China. Japan will clear the 2% target by March as promised, the Finance Ministry said.
Takaichi’s government plans to fund its growing military spending by raising corporate and tobacco taxes and recently adopted a plan for income tax increase beginning 2027. Prospects for future growth at a higher percentage of GDP is unclear.
