3:26Now PlayingJapan is undergoing its most significant national security transformation since World War II, launching the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to centralize intelligence gathering and counter espionage while replacing its fragmented intelligence structure. Alongside the new spy agency, Tokyo is sharply increasing defence spending toward 2% of GDP, easing long-standing restrictions on lethal arms exports, and expanding military capabilities in response to growing security challenges from China, North Korea and Russia.
The sweeping reforms mark a decisive shift away from Japan's decades-long pacifist posture, with the government arguing the changes are essential to strengthen deterrence, deepen cooperation with allies, and better protect national security in an increasingly volatile Indo-Pacific region.
