Check out our new channel @visualeconomiken: https://youtu.be/JZNQVur5BMQ Japan is fundamentally a maritime power, and not just because it is an archipelago. Ninety-nine percent of Japan's international trade is conducted by ship. This poses a major challenge in terms of security of supply. Moreover, the growing belligerence of countries such as China and Japan has made Tokyo start to take its military commitment more seriously. In fact, the Japanese government has already confirmed a military spending plan of more than $300 billion dollars over the next five years. This will make Japan the third largest military spender in the world behind only the United States and China. The question is, how will Japan's Armed Forces spend all the new resources, what threats are they facing specifically, and why do we say that Japan may become a new naval superpower? In this video we tell you all the details.

South Korea: West’s New Military Megafactory Against China and Russia?



Join the VisualPolitik community and support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/VisualPolitik South #Korea is about to become the world's fourth largest exporter of arms and military equipment, overtaking #China itself. It will be surpassed only by the United States, #Russia and France. Countries such as Poland are already betting big on South Korean equipment. The question is, why South Korea? Why are more and more countries like Poland betting so heavily on this market? Is it simply a question of timing or price? What could all this mean for capitalist South Korea and the control of Asia Pacific? In this video we tell you all the details.
