Japan is boosting its intelligence resources devoted to China’s growing military, which it considers the top national security concern, the business daily Nikkei reported Sunday.
The defence ministry-affiliated National Institute for Defence Studies (NIDS) has established a task force of six researchers to examine China’s national security strategy, the daily said.
It will study the strategic thinking guiding the People’s Liberation Army, the purpose of its recent military buildup and its relationship with the Chinese Communist Party, the daily said.
