Japan plans record defense spending in response to North Korea, Chinese incursions
upi.com
Increasingly alarmed by heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula and the presence of Chinese vessels near the disputed Senkaku Islands, Japan is planning a record defense budget for 2017.
The $50 billion budget is Tokyo's largest planned allocation for the military and includes plans to build new submarines to deter Chinese and North Korean advances, according to Kyodo News and Sankei Shimbun.
In March, Tokyo began deploying the "Jinryu," a Soryu-class submarine, a month before Japan's fighter jets began to warn Chinese planes repeatedly entering Japanese airspace between April and June.
