Japanese Cabinet approves record defense budget as anxiety about China and North Korea heightens

Democracy and freedom are the trend of the future, a force that nuclear weapons, submarines and missiles are incapable of resisting. Those who go with the flow will flourish, while those who resist it will be doomed. China claims to be a responsible power, and as such it should not countenance North Korea's militarism. Taiwan is the one nation capable of leading China to democratize, then pressing North Korea to do likewise. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
