Economy news dated April 15, 2021.
Sumitomo Heavy Industries may withdraw from firearms production for JSDF due to less order
More and more major companies are withdrawing from the defense industry in Japan. After the selection of new fighter jets was confused between Japan and the U.S., F-35A was finally selected but this caused Yokohama Rubber and Sumitomo Electric to withdraw from fighter jet production. Even Daicel which produced ejection seats for fighter jets also completely withdrew from the defense industry. Komatsu has also recently decided to withdraw from armored vehicle manufacturing. This company also manufactures artillery shells but the number of tanks and artillery pieces is set to be halved from the previous National Defense Program Guidelines to the current one. It is seen as a matter of time before this company withdraws. And recently, Sumitomo Heavy Industries which supplies machine guns to the JSDF is also expected to withdraw in the midst of the current selection of next machine guns to stop production.........
This is a gift from late Abe but how low morale would be there

Japan's defense budget shortage came from a sudden large order for F-35A/B in 2020. The joint development plan of FX fighter with UK and Italy may have come up to compensate the future expenses in 2022 but it is sure that JGSDF is sacrificed in either way.

I find this interesting.
It's ok for China to bully it's neighbors, but when a Japanese destroyer does it, the Chinese lose their minds!

IIRC, China did not think it serious but was obliged to complain officially because Japan had clarified the fact in media as a normal procedure.

As a normal procedure, even though it was a bad news for them, JMSDF is thorough about the information disclosure.
This is slightly different from JGSDF and JASDF in my experience.

By the way, recent foreign media easily call JMSDF as Navy like Army for JGSDF or Air Force for JASDF.
Japan has no such formal military forces due to the constitution which Gen. MacArthur gave in 1946. According to the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty, Japan has no choice but to rely on the U.S. Forces in Japan which is responsible for the defense of Japan. This looks a strange rule nowadays but basic one.

A forty year old Chinese man in a local city of Japan attempted suicide with gas explosion in his room though he survived fortunately. It will be harder for Chinese citizens in Japan to borrow a room in the future, says another Chinese man. Yes, continental lifestyle sometimes looks extreme to us islanders.
