Biden's Japan Visit Highlights G7's Focus on China and Hiroshima Agenda.

TL;DR Summary
President Biden joined G7 leaders in Japan to discuss global issues, including China's military buildup in the Pacific. Japan has committed to doubling its national defense budget, marking a major departure from its pacifist foreign policy. China's aggressive stance and military buildup, along with concerns over North Korea, have led to broad support in Japan for a more muscular military. Japan's defense spending is set to double by 2027, making it the third-highest national defense budget in the world and a potential market for defense manufacturers.
