Am I reading this right? It seems Japan now openly declares that it will intervene militarily if China attempts to invade Taiwan (which Beijing regards as an illegitimate breakaway territory). Taiwan was controlled by Japan from 1895 to 1945, and obviously has a significant strategic position.
Japan is an US ally, so at this point in time the land of the rising sun doesn´t need nukes. But what if the US collapses? It could happen. Then, Japan´s next logical step would be to get the bomb...
Note how the Japanese (correctly) see the continuity between the Trump and Biden admins over China!
