Not Russia. Not Iran. China. Their 2025 defense report is a wake-up call for the entire free world. Here’s what it says—and why it matters
After 80 years, Japan is rearming fast.– $69B defense budget (1.8% of GDP)– Plans to reach 2% by 2027– New unified command for land, sea, and air– Massive upgrades to missile defense, drones, and cyber. Biggest regional shift since the 1940s.
They’re deepening military alliances with:
The U.S.
India
The Philippines
Indonesi
Australia
It’s the rise of an Indo-Pacific NATO, and China knows it.
