Experts warn Taiwan invasion could push Japan toward nuclear weapons
Original: Revolting for the CCP: seizing Taiwan could drive Japan to nuclear weapons
Analysts at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute argue that a Chinese seizure of Taiwan would be so destabilising for Japan that it could drive Tokyo to abandon its non-nuclear posture and develop nuclear weapons. The piece, published on ASPI's Strategist commentary site, frames the scenario as 'revolting for the CCP', suggesting Beijing's ambitions could trigger the very regional nuclear proliferation it seeks to avoid.
Why now: Rising China-Taiwan tensions are renewing debate over regional nuclear proliferation risks, including Japan's options.
