How Japan’s long-range Type 12 missile forced Beijing to rethink Taiwan and regional strategy
Japan has deployed domestically produced Type 12 long-range surface-to-ship missiles near the East China Sea, a move that analysts say may be interpreted by Beijing as crossing a “strategic threshold.”The deployment is expected to have a major impact on regional deterrence and China’s operational planning in the East China Sea and around Taiwan.Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara confirmed on Monday that the upgraded missiles will be deployed at the Kengun military camp in Kumamoto Prefecture by the end of March. Military vehicles carrying the first batch of missile launchers were reportedly spotted arriving at the base after midnight, according to SGMP.Previously, the Japanese Ministry of Defense decided to advance the missile deployment schedule by one year in 2024. Rising military tensions with Beijing in the East China Sea near Taiwan have prompted Tokyo to speed up its defense capabilities.The Type 12 missile, developed and produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has a range increased to about 1,000 kilometers (originally 200 kilometers), allowing Japan to cover almost the entire East China Sea from Kyushu to coastal cities in mainland China. The missile is designed to deter Chinese naval vessels in the event of a potential conflict.China has harshly criticized the deployment. According to the “SGMP” report, Jiang Bin, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, said that Japan’s “right-wing forces” have been “accelerating re-militarization.”He added that Tokyo’s deployment of long-range offensive weapons with ranges well beyond Japanese territory “completely strips away the pretense of pure defense policy and self-defense.” Jiang Zemin further said: “This fully demonstrates that Japan’s ‘new militarism’ is no longer a dangerous tendency, but a blatant and realistic threat, causing serious damage to regional peace and security.”Experts noted the strategic implications of the deployment. John Bradford, executive director of the Asia-Pacific Research Council in Yokosuka and a former U.S. Navy officer, said that Japan’s deployment of Type 12 anti-ship missiles in Kumamoto is a “new upgrade” that ensures it can threaten Chinese naval ships throughout the East China Sea. He explained: “This effort reflects China’s longstanding deployment of so-called air denial weapons that can target foreign ships entering the East China Sea. This will enhance deterrence because any naval vessel entering the East China Sea will know that it may become a target for China or Japan. ‘Mutual sea denial’ will make both sides hesitant to use force because they know they will face the challenge of gaining sea control of this strategic buffer zone.”“Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Ray Powell, director of the Sealight Maritime Transparency Initiative, said the deployment “plugs in” to the growing Allied missile network along the “first island chain.” This complicates Beijing’s military calculations and enhances Japan’s role in alliance burden-sharing, he added. “In terms of burden sharing, it significantly increases Japan’s value to the alliance. It shifts from relying heavily on the United States for long-range strike operations to exerting its own credible deterrence,” Powell said. “Tokyo is taking on the kind of operational risks and responsibilities that Washington has always wanted to see.“The missile deployment also comes amid an ongoing dispute with Beijing. Tensions increased after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said in November that Japan could take military action if Taiwan was attacked, triggering outcry and economic retaliation from Beijing. Takaichi promised to speed up Japan’s military buildup. The defense budget has reached 2% of GDP, two months ahead of schedule, and the cabinet is pushing to revise major security and defense policies to strengthen independent defense against China, North Korea and Russia.Last month, Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said Japan would deploy Type 03 medium-range surface-to-air missiles on Yonaguni Island, the westernmost island in eastern Taiwan, by 2031.Liselotte Odgaard, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, described the Type 12 deployment as “one of the most significant shifts in Japan’s postwar defense posture.” She said: “Deploying Type 12 missiles will increase the cost of attacking Japanese territory and complicate the PLA’s plans. Beijing must now prepare for possible Japanese retaliation before launching operations in the East China Sea or around Taiwan, unlike before when Tokyo lacked long-range missiles capable of reaching PLA bases or coastal staging areas.” Given the ability of the Type 12 missile to strike mainland China, China may view its deployment as a direct military threat. China will see this as a dramatic increase in Japan’s ability to put Chinese military bases and logistics centers at risk. This undermines China’s confidence in its anti-access/area-denial posture… In China’s view, Japan has crossed a strategic threshold. “Odegaard added that Beijing could interpret the deployment as preparation for a potential conflict over Taiwan, fueling suspicions about Japan’s intentions and efforts to limit China’s freedom of movement. “This could reinforce China’s narrative that Japan’s behavior is provocative and opaque, increases the risk of miscalculation, intensifies the arms race in Northeast Asia, undermines regional stability and militarizes the East China Sea,” she said.
What is Japan’s Type 12 missile?
Long-range anti-ship missile designed for long-range strikeThe upgraded Type 12 anti-ship missile is a weapon developed domestically by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and is designed to enable Japan to hit enemy naval targets at longer distances. Unlike the original Type-12 system used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, which had a range of about 200 kilometers, the upgraded version is expected to have a range of about 900 kilometers or even longer, although the specific range has not been officially disclosed. According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the new missiles also feature a low-observability design designed to reduce the chance of detection by enemy radar.
Multi-platform deployment to expand strike coverage
The upgraded Type 12 missile is designed to be deployed on multiple launch platforms, including land-based launchers, ships and aircraft, thereby significantly expanding the operational flexibility of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF). Once operational, the missile will enable Japanese forces to conduct long-range maritime strike operations, targeting enemy vessels from safer distances. This would significantly expand Japan’s maritime strike capabilities beyond its existing anti-ship missiles, such as the ASM-2 (Type 93).
part of Japan’s evolving counterattack strategy
The upgraded missiles are part of Japan’s broader “standoff” counterattack capabilities, designed to deter adversaries by striking enemy forces before they reach Japanese territory. According to an analysis by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the system is part of a broader missile modernization effort that includes hypersonic weapons and long-range cruise missiles. These capabilities are being developed in conjunction with expanded space-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems to help locate and track targets remotely.
Opposition questions electoral commission’s neutrality ahead of release of state assembly schedule
New Delhi: election committee A press conference will be held at 4 p.m. to announce the game schedule. general election Legislative assemblies of Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. The terms of these assemblies are scheduled to end on different dates in May and June.The announcement came after opposition leaders targeted pollsters and questioned their neutrality, while reacting to the impending announcement of an election date.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh slammed the Model Code of Conduct and the poll panel, saying the MCC had become the face of “Modi’s campaign code”.The secretary-general of the X Party in charge of communications wrote in the post, “The Election Committee will announce the timetable for the 2026 parliamentary elections at 4pm today. This will be approved by G2 as G1 will complete this round of inauguration, ribbon cutting, flag lowering and launch.”“The Model Code of Conduct (MCC) of the Election Commission will come into effect soon. But since 2014, this has become the epitome of Modi’s campaign code, which will be filled with defamation, abuse, intimidation, fear-mongering and spreading a virus of lies,” he added.Congress has often used the term “G2” to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is a set of guidelines agreed by political parties to regulate campaigning during elections and ensure that voting, campaigning and counting of votes are conducted in a free, fair and transparent manner.Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (RJD) Manoj Kumar Jha also urged the poll panel to ensure impartiality.“I just want to say that the election commissioners should look at their predecessors and act accordingly. Independent and fair elections are not just what is written on paper,” he said.He said the announcement of the election date seemed predictable based on recent political rallies.“The announcement of the election date is a fairly natural process; we’ve taken a hint from the way the Prime Minister’s rally has been held. The Electoral Commission does not appear to be playing an impartial role. We constantly urge them to show impartiality. I think in the future children may read in books: ‘Once upon a time there was an electoral commission that conducted free and fair elections, but not now.’‘”Reacting to the upcoming polls in West Bengal, Kolkata mayor and Trinamool Congress leader Firhad Hakim said elections come and go but his party remains connected with the people throughout the year.“Elections come and go. We are with the people throughout the year. If new people contest elections, will people trust them? The Trinamool Congress is with them in their pain and suffering,” Hakim said.Reacting to the news, Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit said the party had been waiting for this news for a long time.“We welcome it. We have been waiting for it for a long time. Actually, it should have been announced earlier… I would like to say to the Electoral Commission, there are already a lot of doubts about you, but at least don’t do it so blatantly. The prime minister keeps announcing left and right and then suddenly you think of announcing the date,” he said.The final electoral rolls for four states and the Union Territory of Puducherry have been released as part of the Special Intensified Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls.
What is Queerbaiting? Harry Styles responds to ‘SNL’ accusations, kisses Ben Marshall | Watch Video
singer and actor Harry Styles Addressed long-standing accusations of ‘queerbaiting’ during his time hosting the show saturday night live The debate turned into a punchline on March 14 before sharing a kiss on stage with actor Ben Marshall.
During the monologue, Styles acknowledged the discussion surrounding his public image and fashion choices. “People seem to pay attention to what I wear, and some have accused me of ‘queerbaiting’ behaviour,” he said on the show.
Then he joked: “Dad, have you ever thought that maybe you don’t know everything about me?”

Later in the monologue, Styles joked that his new album is titled “Kissing all the time. Disco, occasionally.” The singer clarified that despite the name, he doesn’t actually want to kiss often.
Actors Chloe Fineman and Sarah Sherman made brief appearances, feigning disappointment.
When Ben Marshall walked on stage, Styles leaned in and kissed him on the lips. Moments later, Styles joked, “This is queer baiting.”
What is Queerbaiting?
The term “queerbaiting” is often used to describe a celebrity, brand, or fictional work that adopts queer aesthetics or themes in a way that seems designed to appeal to an LGBTQ+ audience without affirming their identity or representation.
According to USA Today, the label is sometimes applied to public figures who embrace gender-fluid fashion or queer-coded imagery without explicitly identifying themselves as belonging to the LGBTQ+ community.
Styles has faced such accusations before, in part because of his widely discussed bold fashion choices, including a 2020 Vogue cover in which he wore a lace ball gown.

Thailand seizes 284 tons of illegal e-waste and prepares to ship back to US World News
Authorities have seized an illegally imported shipment of electronic waste at Laem Chabang Port, and Thailand is preparing to return the shipment to the United States. The consignment, weighing approximately 284 tonnes, was seized after inspection by officials of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), customs authorities and pollution control department.Deputy Prime Minister Suchart Chomklin confirmed that 12 containers containing nearly 285,000 kilograms of e-waste were seized during the operation and will be shipped back to the United States.Phanthong Loysakunanon, Director General of CustomsIt said the incident was discovered after a rigorous investigation by the Department of Special Investigations (DSI) into the team’s smuggling pattern. Smugglers are trying to deceive customs by falsely claiming hazardous electronic waste is scrap metal from Haiti. This recognition shows that Thailand is stepping up its fight against illegal waste and its commitment to upholding international agreements.
Gemini says
In compliance with 100 percent international agreements, Thai officials are currently tracking an additional 714 containers in transit to prevent further environmental dumping.
Toxic electronic waste disguised as scrap metal flagged at Laem Chabang Port
The inspection at Laem Chabang Port was triggered by a high-precision risk analysis that found a mismatch between the cargo’s declaration and its hazardous content. Investigators uncovered a pattern in which smugglers mislabeled 284 tons of toxic electronic waste from Haiti as “scrap metal” to bypass inspections by freight teams, according to DSI case files. This danger signal was received from Basel Action Network (BAN)confirmed that the shipment contained processed printed circuit board scrap, which is a direct violation of Basel Convention Regarding hazardous waste transportation.
What is the Three Group Theory in Capture? Illegal e-waste
It was confirmed that the illegal electronic waste was divided into three groups, totaling eighteen containers. The first and most important group were 12 containers from Haiti that were labeled scrap iron but were found to contain 284 tons of hazardous printed circuit board scrap. The second group was four containers from the United States, identified as mixed metal scrap, destined for Japan and Hong Kong. Finally, two containers from the United States and the Netherlands belong to the third group.
The history of e-waste smuggling in Thailand
For years, Thailand has been a major target for illegal e-waste smuggling in an attempt to circumvent international environmental laws. Report from United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) It shows that the illegal trade of e-waste increased sharply after 2018. The country often becomes a secondary dumping ground for Western digital waste.In May 2025, authorities received 238 tons of electronic waste originating in the United States at the Port of Bangkok. The operation, part of Operation Can Opener, uncovered 10 containers containing processed circuit board scrap that had been incorrectly labeled as mixed metals.In January 2025, Laem Chabang intercepted a large amount of electronic waste from Japan and Hong Kong, and seized 256 tons. The shipments were also disguised as “scrap metal” to circumvent the 2020 ban, The Nation reported.In July 2018, Thailand’s imports of plastic and e-waste increased by 80% following the “China effect”, leading to emergency raids on unlicensed recycling plants in Chachoengsao and Chonburi provinces, e.g. Research published via PMC.
‘Rahul Gandhi defamed India’: Amit Shah on Youth Congress’ topless protest at Delhi AI summit
New Delhi: federal interior minister Amit Shah On Sunday, he accused the Congress party of “defaming” India after lashing out at a topless protest by the opposition youth wing at a summit on the impact of artificial intelligence in New Delhi last month. Shah claims Rahul GandhiCongress member and opposition Lok Sabha leader “turned against India” as he turned against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party. “Congress is trying to defame the country by stripping off clothes at the AI summit. We are also against it but it has its place. You have turned the summit into a platform for personal politics while the world has come together to see India and invest in India,” he said at a rally in Guwahati. He added that instead of apologizing, Gandhi called the protesting Youth Congress workers “cruel”, a stance he called “irresponsible”. Shah further challenged the Congress to vigorously oppose the BJP but criticized their demonstrations for “narrowing the possibilities of Indian youth on a global platform”. “He (Gandhi) defamed India and its democracy in front of the world. You can fight against us with all your might, but you are running away in Parliament. When the world sees the power of India’s youth, you are narrowing their possibilities. The Indian public will not forgive you,” the senior BJP leader said.Shah praised Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for making the state “self-sufficient” in healthcare. “He (Sarma) wants Assam to become a state where patients do not have to travel for treatment. Patients who used to travel to Chennai, Mumbai, Karnataka and Delhi for cancer treatment will now get treatment closer to home,” the home minister said. Shah inaugurated the new Pragjyotishpur Medical College and Hospital and the Golaghat and Tinsukia Cancer Centers in Guwahati. He also actually laid the foundation for super specialty hospitals at Diphu, Jorhat and Barpeta Medical Colleges and Hospitals and Swasthya Bhawan and Abhayapuri District Hospitals. The Election Commission of India will announce the schedule for the Assam assembly elections at 4 pm. The BJP has been in power here since it first came to power in the state in 2016.
Who is Trinity Peterson Mays? Cancer survivor faces life-threatening illness after eating friend’s homemade dish
Trinity Peterson-Mayes, a 24-year-old man from Arizona and a two-time childhood cancer survivor, is now facing a life-threatening illness linked to a rare toxin linked to a meal with friends.
Who is Trinity Peterson Mays?
Trinity was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer at two months old, but she fought and won the battle. At age 11, she faced a form of aggression bone cancer And got over it again.
Last month, at a casual gathering, Trinity and five friends decided to try a friend’s homemade fermented swordfish dish.
“To be honest, it tastes terrible,” Trinity told local outlet KPNX. “It was supposed to be healthy and I figured I might as well give it a try and if it was bad, I’d be bad stomach ache“.
A few days later, alarming symptoms appeared. She had difficulty swallowing and even choked on a sip of coffee or water that flowed into the wrong pipe. Her condition rapidly deteriorated, causing her to seek emergency care.
She went to a local hospital and then was transferred to St. Joseph Medical Center and Barrow Neurological Institute for specialized neurological care, where doctors diagnosed her with botulism.
“I woke up and had three IVs,” Trinity told the outlet. “I was intubated and had a central line inserted into my neck, and the result was NG [nasogastric] What the hell… I just woke up and I can’t move at all. Very scary. I couldn’t speak before. I can’t walk. “
Of the six people who tasted the fermented swordfish, three developed botulism, including Trinity. Her two affected friends have now recovered and been discharged from hospital. Trinity is still recovering, making stable progress, and is expected to be discharged from the hospital in the coming days.
What is botulism?
Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by a powerful neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin attacks the body’s nerves, causing breathing difficulties and muscle paralysis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), foodborne botulism often stems from improperly preserved or fermented foods that create low-oxygen conditions for bacteria to thrive.
“It causes paralysis of the muscles, most importantly the chest muscles, which are the muscles responsible for breathing,” emergency physician Dr. Frank LoVecchio told KPNX. “On average, there are about two dozen cases of food botulism per year in the United States.”
GoFundMe launched
Trinity’s mother, Loren Amatruda, launched a GoFundMe campaign Help pay for mounting hospital bills, ongoing recovery costs, and living expenses during recovery.
“Recovery from botulism can take anywhere from weeks to months, sometimes longer, and often requires extensive rehabilitation and treatment,” Loren wrote.
“Though she has been through it all, Trinity has shown the same strength and resilience that helped her beat cancer twice as a child. She fights every day to regain the basic abilities that most of us take for granted – to speak, swallow and move normally again.”
BAN vs PAK Live: Pakistan wins toss, choose to field against Bangladesh
“us [will] Bowl first. In fact, it was also something before the team’s game. Two players were injured, Shamir Hussain was injured, and Hussain Talaz was injured in the last game, so his shoulder was dislocated. Little Wasim was resting, so he left again. So that’s why we decided to pick a team and hopefully we play well and take a few wickets. (Will the weather affect this decision?) Yes, that’s why we picked this because the conditions are looking good now and it will rain again later and hopefully we can take our wickets and limit them. So, two debutants were also very good batsmen – Ghazi Gori who made his debut and Saad Masood who made his debut. So I hope they perform well and support them. Three changes, two new debuts,” Shaheen said during the toss.
Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hassan Miraz said his team was confident of posting a competitive total and backed their bowling attack to defend it.
“I’m happy because the wicket looks good. I think we’re very confident. We’ve bowled well in the last two games but I still believe that if we get this score, it’s definitely a very good score on this wicket. Yes, of course. I think we always talk about the best batting unit. You have to play against the top-order batsmen and the middle-order The batsmen take responsibility. So I think everyone has to take responsibility and build partnerships and if we get runs, I think in this case, 260, we will definitely be in a good position. It’s a very good score because we have a very good bowling attack – three fast bowlers and two spinners – and we can definitely defend.”
According to pitch reports, the match was played at the first international venue. There is noticeably less grass on the course, although recent thunderstorms have left some darker patches that may make the course look a little tacky early on. With strong winds expected to dry out the surface, bowlers can find help in the first 10 overs before getting into a good batting trajectory.
“Move over to the action on the pitch that was used in the first international. If you look at the ground itself, it’s a lot less grassy. There’s not a lot of grass cover, but because of the thunderstorms the other night, you’ll see a little bit of dark spots here. It might just be a little bit sticky, you know, at times, it’s still strong in the breeze, so it’ll dry out. But initially, the first 10 overs or so, I think the bowlers will have something. We already know that Shaheen Shah Afrifi The decision was made to bowl first on this surface so you look for deliveries outside leg stump and in the series I liked the way the curators worked, especially on the surface, 275 was Pakistan’s score with 19 wickets taken by the seamers and 11 by the spinners. wicket, what’s the situation? So if there is a sports wicket, I like something that everyone can use rather than a one-sided thing, and yes, it’s a very good surface for batsmen and bowlers again, and I think if a team can score 250 or more, then I think they have to be challenged outside of the leg stump.
