Japan Deploys Missiles Near Taiwan; Yonaguni Becomes New Flashpoint | Gravitas

Japan is moving ahead with a major military build-up on Yonaguni, just 110 kilometres from Taiwan, deploying Type-03 medium-range surface-to-air missiles to expand its air-defence capabilities. Tokyo insists the move is meant to deter conflict and prevent an attack, while Beijing calls it a provocative escalation aimed at challenging China over Taiwan. With the U.S. strengthening its logistics and Japan expanding bases across the Southern Island chain, Yonaguni is now a key flashpoint in the Indo-Pacific. This report breaks down the deployment, China’s reaction, and whether these developments increase the risk of war.
