Mr Abe has argued the change is needed to cope with a tough security environment, but the move has stirred angst among many voters wary of entanglement in foreign wars and worried that Japan’s post-war pacifist constitution is being gutted. Tokyo and Beijing have long been at odds over territorial claims and Japan’s military record before the end of the World War II.”
