Panel: Japan's security shift - protection or provocation?

World Today

About this episode

As the world prepares to mark the 81st anniversary of the end of World War II, Japan, a defeated country in that war, is rolling out a series of security and military initiatives. Why is Japan accelerating its military buildup after decades of maintaining an exclusively defensive posture? What kind of military power is it seeking to become? And should Asia be worried? Host Dou Hongyu is joined by Sultan Hali, a retired air force officer and author from Pakistan, Dr. Lee Pei May, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the International Islamic University Malaysia, and Dr. Liu Kuangyu, a researcher at the Institute of Taiwan Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
