Japan adopted a new five-year ocean policy on Friday that calls for stronger maritime security, including bolstering its coast guard's capability and cooperation with the military as China grows increasingly assertive in regional seas.
The new Basic Plan on Ocean Policy adopted by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s Cabinet also says Japan must accelerate the development of autonomous underwater vehicles and remotely operated robots to strengthen its surveillance capability.
The new strategy provides for the strengthening of Japan’s military power with a strike capability and double its defense budget within five years. The strategy also calls for closer cooperation between the military and the coast guard in any emergency over Taiwan or other possible conflicts. A change in the status quo would cause a “catastrophic outcome,” he said at a news conference. If Japan takes sides with independence forces, it would lead the Japanese people “into the fire,” he said.

Chinese state television's military channel identified the ships being sent as the guided missile frigate Yulin and the minesweeper hunter Chibi.
