1. Japan’s evil neo-militarism is rooted in its business community
Japan is an evil country. Its politicians, bureaucrats and JSDF are evil.
But, most fundamentally, Japan’s evilness is rooted in its business community.
The Japanese business community (Zaibatsu) used the imperial Japanese army to attack and invade China in Sino-Japanese War of 1937-1945 so that it could make huge profits and get out of the great depression.


After WW2, the shattered Japanese business community revived through supporting and replenishing the US military during Korean War of 1950-1953.

Ever since, the Japanese business community has been seeking protection of the US, particularly the US military.
Now, the Japanese business community is trying to make profit by making Japan an Ukraine of East Asia, which is in accordance with the US’s offshore balancing strategy of using proxies to attack adversaries.

2. Every Japanese company is currently rushing to manufacturing weapons
Almost all Japan’s major defense companies have started manufacturing military drones, their related equipment and software, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), Mitsubishi Electric Company (MELCO), NEC, Toshiba, Hitachi & Fujitsu.

[Japan’s major defense companies]
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) showcased AI-powered combat drones. [1]

[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) showcased AI-powered combat drones]
Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) announced that it would cooperate with Europe’s Airbus to manufacture anti-submarine drones. [2]

[Airbus' anti-submarine drone]
In addition to traditional major defense contractors, many companies that have never been engaged in defense businesses are rushing to enter defense businesses.
Currently, almost every Japanese company is examining and entering manufacturing weapons.
For example, even Rakuten Group, which is providing Internet shopping platform and cellular phone services, announced that it would support German attack drone manufacturer Helsing so that the German company would make a contract to supply drones to JSDF. [3]


[Helsing's attack drone]
Japan has started exporting weapons vigorously.
It was agreed that Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will build and export as many as 10 frigates to Australia.

[Mogami-class frigate]
Also, Japan is planning to export Type 88 anti-ship missiles to Philippines.

[Type 88 anti-ship missile]
Japan is planning to export weapons to Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan etc so that it will surround China with Japanese weapons.
Japan is even providing communication equipment and patrol ships to Cambodia, which is traditionally supposed to have the closest tie with China politically, economically and militarily. [4]
Furthermore, Japanese military industrial complex has started working with European military industrial complex and the Us military industrial complex.
European military industrial complex and the Us military industrial complex are planning to establish manufacturing facilities in Japan.

[Europe’s major defense companies]
Rheinmetall, Germany’s defense giant, announced that it would establish its manufacturing facilities in Japan. [5]


[The US’s major defense companies]
Reportedly, the US’s defense firm Anduril is to take over Nissan’s Oppama Plant to mass-produce weapons in Japan. [6]

It is likely that millions of military drones will be manufactured in Japan soon.
At the same time, the US’s proxies are cooperating each other to develop and manufacture weapons and ammunition.
Japan is working with Ukraine to develop military drones. [7]
Ukraine’s chamber of commerce in Japan announced that Japan Ukraine Drone Cluster (JUDC) was established that facilitate corporate cooperation on military drone development between Japan and Ukraine. [8]

[Ukraine’s chamber of commerce in Japan announced that Japan Ukraine Drone Cluster (JUDC) was established]
Japan is planning to procure Israel’s missile defense system. [9]
3. China’s counter actions
China can criticize PM Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan.
But, Takaichi is expendable. The Japanese business community can replace her with other hawkish politicians anytime.
China can conduct live fire drills nearby Japan.
But, Japan will call China’s drills as security menace and accelerate its re-militarization even more.
Thus, rather than criticizing politicians and conducting drills, China should attack the Japanese business community directly.
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already mentioned on the UN Enemy State Clause.
By invoking the UN Enemy State Clause, China can impose sanctions over Japanese defense companies based on international law.
By invoking the UN Enemy State Clause, imposing sanctions over Japan's defense companies will become legal and legitimate punishment against an enemy state that revives its aggressive policies toward neighboring countries.
(1) Restricting and stopping export of rare earth to Japan
China can restrict and stop export of rare earth to Japan so that Japan's defense companies will become dysfunctional.


(2) Restricting operations of main banks of Japan's defense companies
When Japanese banks provide financial support for companies manufacturing offensive weapons, China can restrict Japanese banks operations in China.

[Japan’s 3 mega banks]
For example, Japan’s 3 mega banks are main banks of Japan’s major defense contractors. China can restrict Japan’s 3 mega banks operations in China.
(3) Secondary sanctions over companies related to defense companies
China can impose sanctions and restrict operations over companies related to Japan's defense companies.
For example, China can impose sanctions and restrict operations over companies that have their shops in Rakuten's Internet shopping platform.

[Rakuten’s Internet shopping platform]

China can restrict operations of Nissan in the Chinese market as Nissan uses Mitsubishi Electric Company supplied parts.

(4) Iran's shutting off the Strait of Hormuz to Japan's ships
Iran is a strategic partner of China. China can coordinate with Iran to apply pressures to the Japanese business community.
US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt stationed in Yokosuka naval base, Japan is deploying to attack Iran.

Also, It is alleged that the US Air Force’s F-16s stationed in Misawa air force base, Japan were used to attack Iran.

[The US Air Force’s F-16s stationed in Misawa air force base, Japan]
Iran should block Japanese ships’ sailing through the Strait of Hormuz.

(5) BRICS and SCO member countries' sanctions on Japan's defense companies
China can propose BRICS and SCO member countries to impose sanctions on Japan's defense companies,
