Japan will put new missiles on Yonaguni island. This island is near Taiwan. The new missiles will be ready in 2031. Japan's Defence Minister shared this news.
These actions show Japan is worried about safety. Japan wants a stronger army. The missiles will help stop air attacks. This can stop problems before they start.
China and Japan have problems. China thinks Taiwan is its land. China does not like Japan's defence plans. China put rules on some Japanese companies. Many think this was because Japan works with Taiwan.
Japan's Prime Minister said Japan will help Taiwan if it is attacked. China did not like this. China's news said drones flew near Yonaguni island. Japan sent planes. This shows a careful time in the sea. A fight over Taiwan could be big.
Yonaguni island is close to Taiwan. The new missiles are a big defence step. Japan is looking at its defence. It wants to be safe. It also wants peace in the area. But China thinks Japan is changing things.
This is important for the area. More army actions can make Japan and China not trust each other. This can make talking hard. Japan is making its army better. It is also working with friends. The area will likely stay unsure. Talking carefully can help avoid big problems.
