The Japanese government on Monday convened its second expert meeting as  part of its attempts to revise the three national security documents,  with Japanese media claiming that one of the considerations behind the  meeting is the so-called "increasingly aggressive hegemonic tendencies  of China." A Chinese expert said that if Japan regards China - which plays the role of a peace promoter in the Asia-Pacific region -  as an adversary, then it further confirms Japan's dangerous tendency to  accelerate its shift toward military confrontation and allow the  revival of militarism.

The government convened a meeting of  experts at the Prime Minister's Official Residence on Monday to discuss  the revision of three national security documents, including the  National Security Strategy, Japan's Kyodo News reported. The meeting,  titled "Expert Panel on Security from the Perspective of Comprehensive  National Power," comprises 15 members in total, including experts on  artificial intelligence (AI) and economic security, as well as senior  representatives from the business community and media outlets, per Kyodo  News.

Focusing on diplomatic and defense capabilities, the  participants are expected to exchange views on forging closer  coordination with like-minded partners to build a "free and open  Indo-Pacific" vision amid what Japan views as China's so-called "growing  hegemonic moves," as well as on bolstering defense capabilities  covering cyber and space domains, Kyodo News report claimed.
