Taiwan invasion could push Japan toward nuclear weapons

Original: Revolting for the CCP: seizing Taiwan could drive Japan to nuclear weapons

Analysis published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute argues that a Chinese seizure of Taiwan could drive Japan to develop nuclear weapons. The piece suggests that a collapse of US security guarantees in the region would leave Tokyo with few alternatives, a prospect described as deeply unwelcome for Beijing. It adds to debate over how a Taiwan conflict could reshape nuclear proliferation in East Asia.

Why now: Rising tensions over Taiwan have renewed debate about nuclear proliferation risks among US allies in East Asia.
