Belesarius Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 So with the Chinese doing their thing with building islands and the US, Philippines, Koreas and Japan all doing their bits to respond and do their own bits to keep things in the Pacific interesting, I figured we should have a thread to discuss varying nations military responses, rather than starting a new thread for every little bit of news. http://www.defencetalk.com/japan-to-deploy-troops-missiles-near-disputed-islands-65959/ Japan is deploying 500 troops, along with anti ship and anti air missiles near some disputed islands. "More units will be deployed to Miyako and Amami-Oshima islands as part of a significant upgrade of Japan’s forces in the region. Tokyo has also decided not to station troops on the disputed islands themselves as such a move would be certain to enrage China and only serve to further raise tensions."
