Could a Taiwan invasion push Japan toward nuclear weapons?

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

Analysts at ASPI's Strategist argue that if China seizes Taiwan, Japan could abandon its long-standing nuclear restraint and develop its own atomic arsenal, a prospect described as revolting to Beijing. The piece says Chinese aggression in the region could ultimately trigger exactly the nuclear-armed Japan the CCP most dreads.

Why now: Rising China-Taiwan tensions have renewed debate over regional proliferation risks and Japan's security posture.
