[Japan will support strengthening supply chain through Defense Industry Enhancement Law]-the "production Base Enhancement Law" of Japan's defense industry was passed and established at the plenary session of the Senate on the 7th with the support of Zimin, Komeito, constitutional democracy, the Japan Reform Association, and the National Democratic parties. The main content of the law is to support the domestic defense industry, and the government bears the funds for improving the efficiency of the manufacturing process and strengthening the supply chain. When it becomes difficult to produce equipment that is indispensable to the SDF mission, the central government can buy factories and entrust enterprises to manage them. Some opposition parties blame that this could lead to the revival of military "factories" that existed before the war. (Kyodo News Agency)
