According to the report of the Asahi Shimbun on December 1, relevant personnel from the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party of Japan held a consultation meeting on November 30 on the revision of three security documents, including the national security guarantee strategy, and reached a substantive consensus on the "ability to attack enemy bases", including the enemy's missile launching bases. The two parties will reach a formal agreement in the near future after discussing the details. The Japanese government intends to indicate in these three documents that it has "the ability to attack enemy bases", which means that Japan's defense policy will undergo a major shift. According to the report, the Japanese government once again explained that the current interception situation is difficult to prevent the "saturation attack" carried out by variable orbit missiles and multiple missiles launched at the same time. The two parties agreed that it is necessary to "eliminate the intention of the other party to launch an attack by having the ability to attack the enemy base and improve Japan's deterrent". According to the report, whether the Japanese Self Defense Forces can use force needs to be judged by the government and implemented in accordance with the Law on Response to Armed Attacks and Survival Crisis Situations, which stipulates the procedures when using force. Therefore, to exercise the "attack capability against the enemy base", the cabinet must first formulate the basic disposal policy, and then the Congress will approve it. Calling "the ability to attack enemy bases" as "the ability to fight back" is a proposal put forward by the Liberal Democratic Party, which the Komeito Party did not object to. According to the report, if we want to prevent the attack on the "enemy base" from becoming a "first strike" in violation of international law, the key is how to judge that "the enemy has started to attack", and the "target" is also the focus. In the consultations on the same day, some people from the Liberal Democratic Party believed that doing so was "tantamount to revealing the cards to the enemy", so they finally decided to make a specific analysis of specific issues on how to determine "start", and would not disclose the targets. At the meeting of the Senate Budget Committee held on the 30th, Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Kishida said when he was questioned that he had "the ability to attack enemy bases", that there had been no change in the principles of using force and defending exclusively to the minimum extent necessary, and that first strike was a violation of international law and was not allowed. The report concluded that as Japan has "the ability to attack the enemy base", the traditional division of labor based on the Japan US security treaty, in which the US military is responsible for attacking the enemy for the "spear" and the Self Defense Forces is responsible for defense for the "shield", will change.
