NYTimes: Japanese Foreign Minister Speaks Out Against Chinese Newspaper Graphic http://nyti.ms/1rMcElA
Because I think the newspaper has freedom to release its expressions, I do not criticize the picture uploaded to this article.
However, what I do criticize is some people's reactions to the collective-self defence in Japan. Once hearing Mr.Abe's announcement, some anti-government Japanese, China and Korea assume that Japan will have a war in near future.
It seems like they could not hear the term"selectively" even though the Prime Minister emphasized. How could "selectively collective self-defence" directly lead to a war?
To me, their reactions sound like a country thinks to attack Japan or the US;therefore, that country disagrees with the idea in which both of Japan and the US will give a military response, as a means of collective self-defence, all of which are very unlikey to happen.
It is too idealistic that having no military prevents a war. Like Switzerland, a country should have military or something(to some extent) that acts as a deterrent to a war.
