政府消息人士周二透露，日本正考虑在今年晚些时候修订的一份重要防卫政策文件中，写入致力于与美国协调强化其“拒止能力”以应对对手侵略的承诺。
Japan is considering including a commitment to strengthening its “capabilities to deny” an adversary’s aggression in coordination with the United States in a major defence policy document to be revised later this year, government sources said on Tuesday.
消息人士称，《国家防卫战略》的基本指针还将要求扩大日美合作以强化防卫产业基础，并与志同道合国家深化安全关系。
The basic guidelines for the National Defence Strategy will also call for expanded Japan-US cooperation to strengthen the defence industrial base and deeper security ties with like-minded countries, the sources said.
消息人士援引草案大纲称，三份拟于年底前修订的文件中层级最高的《国家安全保障战略》，很可能会描述世界正进入一个根本性变革时期。
The National Security Strategy, the highest-ranking of the three documents slated for revision by year-end, is likely to describe the world as entering a period of fundamental transformation, the sources said, citing a draft outline.
消息人士补充说，该文件还预计将概述安全环境的“六大变化”，包括经济相互依存的武器化。
The document is also expected to outline “six changes” in the security environment, including the weaponisation of economic interdependence, the sources added.
这三份文件还包括《防卫力整备计划》，其计划修订工作将在以在国家安全问题上立场强硬著称的首相高市早苗领导下进行，背景是中国日益强势、俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以及朝鲜的核与导弹开发计划。
The planned revisions of the three documents, which also include the Defence Build-up Programme, will take place under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, known for her hawkish stance on national security, amid China’s growing assertiveness, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and North Korea’s nuclear and missile development programmes.
周二早些时候，高市早苗领导的执政党自由民主党及其联盟伙伴日本维新会启动了针对这三份文件的实务层面磋商，这些文件上一次更新是在2022年。共同社
