A new report has revealed that Japan may be gearing up for war with the ever aggressive China. Apparently, already having the technology, they are capable of making at least 2,000 nuclear warheads.

The report comes from the Hong-Kong news organization, Asia Weekly, and outlines Japans secretive plans that are becoming more and more public. Asia Weekly writes, “With the capability to build at least 2,000 nuclear warheads, Japan has recently demanded the United States return 300 kilograms of plutonium. A Japanese military analyst told Yazhou Zhoukan that Washington has paid close attention to the potential development of nuclear weapons in Japan.”

China and Japan have endured, for quite some time, ever-growing tensions over the East China Sea dispute. The dispute argues where the actual borders lie for each country with a couple islands falling in the disputed territory.

China has been extremely aggressive when it comes to protecting what they believe to be theirs. For instance, they recently took a couple of warships around the islands as a sign of dominance against the much smaller country. Along with this, China has recently stated that the island is protected under the Chinese air defense zone.
