A photo shows a US military Osprey in Okinawa. Japan's Self-Defense Force began deploying Ospreys at a new base in southwestern Japan, part of a military buildup citing China's ambitions. A Chinese expert criticized this, saying it targets China and violates Japan's pacifist constitution.
The GSDF opened a new camp for Osprey transport aircraft, aiming to strengthen defenses of remote islands. The first Osprey arrived at Camp Saga after transferring from near Tokyo. This is part of Japan's strategy to strengthen its military presence in the southwest, enhancing offensive capabilities.
The V-22 Osprey's use is controversial due to past accidents. Despite this, Japan continues deployment, aligning with the US and its "Indo-Pacific Strategy." Protests occurred at the new base.
A Chinese expert noted Japan's historical responsibility to avoid past mistakes. However, right-wing forces are growing, denying past aggression and glorifying wartime atrocities, indicating a concerning shift towards militarism.

China's expert is right, targeting any nation that would lead to more conflict.

I'm worried about the lack of transparency and the rush to deploy. What are they hiding?

This is a strategic move to protect the country's remote islands - important for the nations borders.

Supporting our allies and building a strong military deters conflicts. Isn't peace what everyone wants?

They're ignoring the protests?! The people of Okinawa don't want this!
