インドの国防研究所の所長は、日本の武器輸出解禁を歓迎。
艦艇などの共同生産や、日印首脳会談での防衛装備協力推進に期待を寄せ、日本の殺傷能力のある武器輸出を原則容認するとした。
インド国民は好意的に受け止めており、「既にそうすべき時だ」と考えている。
中国は圧力を強め、さまざまな演習を行い尖閣諸島周辺に侵入してくるだろう。
日本が能動的な防衛政策を取ればそれらの抑制につながるはず。
日本はあまりにも長く米国に防衛・安保を依存し過ぎたが、近隣の敵対国はその状況につけ込んでいる。
「これまでの日本は正常な状態ではなかったが、これから正常になりつつある」と語った。
The head of an Indian defense research institute welcomed Japan's decision to lift its ban on arms exports.
He expressed hope for the joint production of naval vessels and the promotion of defense equipment cooperation—topics discussed at the Japan-India summit—and acknowledged the move to permit, in principle, the export of lethal weapons from Japan.
The Indian public has received the news favorably, believing that "it is high time this was done."
China is likely to increase pressure on Japan and make incursions into the waters surrounding the Senkaku Islands.
If Japan adopts a proactive defense policy, it will serve to deter such actions.
Hostile neighboring nations have been taking advantage of the fact that Japan has relied far too heavily on the United States for its defense and security for so long.
He remarked, "Japan's defense and security posture was not normal until now, but it will become normal moving forward."
************ My opinion ***********
膨大な軍事費と核ミサイル保持1000機を背景にして、日本の了解侵入を繰り返す中国と「イデオロギー」を共通とする日本共産党である為に仕方がないことだろうが、その行動は日本の国益に全く反する行動である事を、いつまで経っても彼らは理解できない。
幸いなことに、日本共産党の意見に賛同する「党員数」と「新聞赤旗」の購読者数は劇的に減少し、2025年は80万人を割り込むほどだったそうです。
The Japanese Communist Party (JCP) has fiercely criticized—via its newspaper, *Akahata*—Japan's measures to strengthen its defense capabilities amidst an increasingly severe security environment, claiming that "arms exports fuel conflicts."
Given that the JCP shares an ideology with China—a nation that repeatedly violates Japanese territory while possessing vast military resources and an arsenal of a thousand nuclear-capable missiles—such a stance is perhaps to be expected.
Yet, they remain utterly incapable of grasping that their actions run completely counter to Japan's national interests.
Fortunately, the number of Japanese Communist Party members and subscribers to the *Shimbun Akahata* (Red Flag) newspaper—those who support the party's views—has reportedly seen a dramatic decline, falling below 800,000 by 2025.
