What is the article 9 argument in Japan?
In: Other
At the end of WW2 Japan was seen as a militaristic state and a threat to its neighbours so when America occupied Japan some steps were taken to lessen the threat posed by Japan. These steps included article 9 which was broadly accepted by the population at the time who saw the damage that war had done to the country. However lately it is seen by some in Japan that it was imposed on Japan rather than arrived at naturally and even that some countries like China could even exploit article 9 and the restrictions imposed on the Japanese military to undermine Japan.
