TOKYO\u00a0<\/span>– Japan’s Ministry of Defence is seeking a fourth straight annual military budget hike to help fortify the country’s far-flung island chain in the East China Sea, close to ocean territory claimed by Beijing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a document submitted to the government on Monday, the ministry asked for a 2.2 percent increase in military spending to 5.09 trillion yen ($42.38 billion) for the year starting in April. If approved, the new defence budget would be Japan’s biggest in 14 years.<\/p>\n

China’s military budget for this year rose 10.1 percent to 886.9 billion yuan ($138.37 billion), the second largest in the world after the United States. [ID:nL4N0W7042]\n

Japan’s Defence Ministry will buy AAV7 amphibious assault vehicles made by BAE Systems (BAES.L: Quote<\/a>), F-35 Stealth warplanes made by Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N: Quote<\/a>) and Osprey tilt-rotor transport aircraft from Boeing Co (BA.N: Quote<\/a>) under the budget plan, said the document.<\/p>\n

Other purchases would include Global Hawk drones made by Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N: Quote<\/a>), mobile missile batteries, helicopters and other kit the military wants to defend island-dotted ocean territory stretching 1,400 km (870 miles) from the Japanese mainland almost to Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Money would also be allocated to building and extending military bases along the island chain, the document added.<\/p>\n

As China’s military power grows, Japan is shifting from defending its northern borders from a diminished Russian threat with tanks and heavy armour to deploying a lighter, more mobile force in the East China Sea and the Western Pacific<\/p>\n

By bolstering its military presence on islands with radar stations, troop bases or missile batteries Japan could gain a tactical advantage over China, which with far fewer islands under its control in the region would have to rely more on naval vessels or ocean platforms.<\/p>\n

Japan and China contest ownership of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea called the Senkaku by Tokyo and the Diaoyu by Beijing. Japan administers the chain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only 150 km (94 miles) south of the outcrops, Japan is building a military radar station on Yonaguni island, home to 1,500 people.<\/p>\n

In the budget request, defence officials have allocated $90 million to expand an army base on Miyakojima island, 300 km (188 miles) east of Yonaguni and $72 million for base construction on Amami Oshima, an island halfway between the main Okinawan island, home to the largest contingent of U.S. Marines in Asia, and the Japanese mainland.<\/p>\n

The Osprey troop carrying aircraft, amphibious assault vehicles and new manoeuvrable armoured fighting vehicles on Tokyo’s shopping list will bolster a force including Japan’s first detachment of marines since World War Two.<\/p>\n
