The government has reportedly begun using the phrase “new way of defending” in the three security-related documents it aims to revise by year-end.
The defense minister referred to the expression, conveying the view that it is being explained as a rewording of the way wars are fought. The rewording has also drawn criticism.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, attention has focused on the use of AI and unmanned aircraft, and some have pointed out that Japan is being pressed to respond.
The government is said to be aiming to make it easier to gain public understanding.
