Should Japan have nuclear weapons?

Описание: A recent remark by a government adviser has reopened one of Japan’s most sensitive postwar debates: whether the country should ever consider nuclear weapons.

Japan is the only nation to have suffered atomic bombings and has long upheld three non-nuclear principles. Public support for those principles remains strong. But rising regional tensions and more ambiguous language from senior politicians are raising questions about whether that long-standing taboo could one day change.

In this episode of Japan Today Spotlight, we examine where the Japanese government stands, how other countries are reacting and what atomic bomb survivors and anti-nuclear campaigners are saying now.
