TOKYO Air Jordan Retro For Sale , Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Citing the growing tension on the Korean Peninsula and hyping up the so-called "China threat," Japan's Ministry of
Defense announced on Thursday a record-high budget request for the fiscal year
2018.
The 5.26 trillion yen (47.8 billion U.S. dollars) budget request, together with Japan's other moves to boost military capacity, reveals once again the
country's tendency of remilitarization, which is legitimately unsettling to
Japan's neighbors Air Jordan Shoes For Sale , given Japan's wartime past and its reluctance to truly reflect upon that past.
Local observers have pointed out that the envisaged giant budget, covering a purchasing list of state-of-the-art weaponry and equipment such as PAC-3 MSE
missiles, F-35A stealth fighters, V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, apparently
far exceeds the needs of a country for "pure defense."
Meanwhile Air Jordan For Sale , funds eyed for dispatching more defense officers abroad to collect information, and for promoting military cooperation with countries in
Southeast Asia and in Africa, also reflect the nation's ambition to increase its
security footprint internationally.
Since Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe re-took office in 2012, under the flag of the so-called "active pacifism," Japan is Jordan Retro Shoes For Sale , in many people's eyes, sliding further and further down the dangerous road of remilitarization.
From lifting ban on collective self-defense right to forced passage of the controversial new security laws which allow Japanese troops to fight abroad,
from plans to augment defense budget to advocation of changing pacifist
Constitution, the country is deviating from the postwar system that has ensured
Japan's peaceful development for the past seven decades.
Japan has even been giving thoughts to acquiring "first strike" capabilities to take out enemy targets, with Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera being an
outspoken advocate of it before he assumed the current portfolio.
Despite the Abe administration's self-justification with regional "threats" and needs for defense Jordan Retro For Sale , a remilitarized and belligerent Japan is apparently no good to regional peace and stability, but could trigger more turbulence and even arms
race.
For one thing, Japan's remilitarization certainly won't help ease the tensions on the Korean Peninsula, as the past has proven that pressure and
sanctions alone will not settle the issue which is long-standing, intricate and
complex.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying has said that the only solution is to resolve the legitimate security concerns of all parties in a
balanced way through dialogues.
As for the so-called "China threat Jordan Shoes For Sale ," the fact is that Japan has been exaggerating it to devise excuses for its own hidden agenda.
While China has repeatedly made it clear that its navy and air force activities are in line with international law, domestic law as well as national
defense needs, Japan is the one that is trying to fish in troubled waters and
add fuel to disputes in the region.
A recent scandal involving the defense ministry's coverup of activity logs of its peace-keeping troops in South Sudan has also raised doubts among people as
to the trustworthiness of the military department and what Japan might resort to
do with its growing military capacities.
The huge military spending is also incurring an excessive financial burden to the nation that is already mired in fiscal woes as its arrears continue to stand
as the highest in the industrialized world, amounting to more than twice the
size of Japan's GDP.
If Japan sincerely wants to contribute to world peace and stability, instead of going farther along the road of militarization Cheap Air Jordan For Sale , it should do more to promote trust between countries instead of escalating tension and inciting disputes.
It's high time for Tokyo to heed the voices of the people who love peace and bid farewell to history revisionism and militarism and stop muddying the waters
in the region.

MILAN, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan drew with Torino 1-1 at home on Saturday to see their winning Serie A run under Clarence Seedorf come to an end.
Earlier in the day Cheap Jordan Retro For Sale , Udinese ended their four-match losing streak in Serie A with a 2-0 victory over Bologna.
Seedorf steered his new side to two wins in as many Serie A games, but they could not continue their winning momentum against a well-drilled Torino outfit.
The visitors went ahead at the 17th minute through Ciro Immobile before Adil Rami equalised for the Milan side four minutes after the break.
Seedorf said his side were rewarded by their patience in the second half.
"I did say beforehand Giampiero Ventura's teams are very well-organised and we saw that again tonight. As for my team, we had a little more patience in the
second half to spread the play and that made the difference," he said.
"In the first half Torino were still a little deep, so Honda tried to break through Cheap Jordan Shoes For Sale , but you have to spread the play to stretch out opposition defences. It requires patience and my players had more of that after the break,
forcing the opponents to move out of position," he said.
Seedorf's Torino counterpart Giampiero Ventura was left to rue Torino's missed opportunity to take all three points from Milan.
"You can never be sure at San Siro, but we had the chance to go 2-0 up and it certainly would have made it more difficult for Milan," he said.
