LDP Panel Approves Proposal to Strengthen Intelligence Capabilities
The LDP plans to enhance intelligence with a new bureau, foreign agent registration, and mobile phone bans amid rising China tensions, party officials said.
- On Friday , the LDP approved plans to strengthen Japan's intelligence capability, with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi advancing the move after a landslide victory this month.
- Amid a months-long row with China, Beijing reacted angrily to Takaichi's Taiwan remarks and Japan reported J-15 jets locking radar on Japanese aircraft near Okinawa.
- Included are a mandatory foreign-agent registration system and a ban on mobile phones in key government buildings, alongside establishing an upgraded intelligence bureau to boost foreign intelligence collection capabilities.
- The plan is slated for submission to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi next week, local media reported, and Takaichi will revise three key national security policy documents this year.
- Separately, the LDP proposed loosening export rules to allow lethal weapons exports on Wednesday, while Beijing's top diplomat Wang Yi said forces in Japan seek to `revive militarism` at the Munich Security Conference earlier this month.
