Japan will consider whether to call China a "threat" in the upcoming revision of its three major security-related documents by year-end.

Tensions between the two Asian countries have increased markedly since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's parliamentary remarks on a possible Taiwan contingency in November last year.

The situation would deteriorate further if Japan uses stronger language than in the current version of the National Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy and the Defense Buildup Program, released in December 2022.
