I am aware of the military build up in Japan. The new aircraft carrier construction is probably the most obvious. Online I came across a reference to land based anti-ship missiles, which Japan could base on the island countries of east Asia. I also came across an online reference to a "hypersonic glide bomb".
Japan is known to have the technical means to build a nuclear deterrent.. I don't know if they are, but such a project wouldn't surprise me. My guess that such a project might have been initiated a few years back when North Korea flew a missile over Japan.
If the USA were to withdraw its military from east Asia, Japan might be-at the least-a major distraction for China.
