Major Western armaments corporations are relocating their regional offices and subsidiaries to Japan ahead of Tokyo's anticipated increase in defense spending to 2% of GDP by 2027, reports Nikkei.
The British BAE Systems intends to relocate the representative office, which oversees the business's operations in Asia, from Malaysia to Japan by the end of the year, according to the newspaper. In January 2022, a subsidiary firm was created with this objective in mind.
Lockheed Martin Corporation, based in the US, has relocated its regional office from Singapore to Japan. This was carried out in the midst of escalating tensions in Northeast Asia, including increased missile launches by the North Korea and mounting dangers of a Taiwanese-American clash.
At the same time, there are worries that the entry of foreign producers, particularly of the most desired and easily produced weaponry, would weaken the position of Japanese businesses that are already having trouble being viable. The titans of Japan's defense-industrial complex are expecting a decrease in orders, while medium-sized and tiny component suppliers are hoping for an increase.
