Japan and the United States have named China as a hypothetical adversary for the first time during a joint command post exercise. This action was taken due to the perceived possibility of conflict in Taiwan resulting from a potential attack by Beijing in the future. Additionally, classified Japanese diplomatic information was leaked following Chinese cyberattacks on the Foreign Ministry in 2020, prompting concerns about Japan's cybersecurity measures and the need to improve its ability to mount an active cyber defense. The U.S. government informed Japan in 2020 that its telecommunications system handling classified diplomatic information had been hacked by China, urging the improvement of vulnerable computer programs. These developments have accelerated a shift in Japan's stance against China, with reports of a new data hack further fueling concerns.
