Japan announces unprecedented increase in defense spending

Japan has announced it's beefing up its defensive capabilities. Concern over China and North Korea, as well as the Russian attacks in Ukraine, has caused the Japanese government to rethink a military policy that dates back to the end of World War II. Axel Berkofsky from the Italian Institute for international political studies discusses how big a shift is for Japan’s defence spending.
