China warns Japan over arms export move
China has slammed Japan’s moves to lift a decades-old ban on arms exports, describing it as “reckless militarisation”.
Under the changes announced yesterday, Tokyo will be able to sell lethal weapons to its partner nations.
Analysts see the move as part of bigger shift in Japan’s military posture, signalling a step away from its long-standing policy of pacifism.
