You said -- "NUCLEAR WEAPONS"
When did Japan become a member of the nuclear club. I would think that they are prevented from joining that club by the non-proliferation treaty. Of course, that doesn't (apparently) pertain to Pakistan, Iran or North Korea (of course).
But, then again, like I said before -- wasn't that *exactly* what China was endeavoring to prevent, by "reeling in" North Korea. But, then again, maybe China doesn't have such "good control" over them...

I must have misunderstood your question because they do not have nuclear weapons for the moment. I thought you were asking what China is trying to prevent concerning the Japanese military. The answer to that question is nuclear weapons.
So while they may not technically have warheads; I figure that given Japan's nuclear industry & technical prowess, they could have a working Nuke warhead in a week or two. And they do have their own space inustry as well, so putting one on top a missle shouldn't be a problem for them either.
If Il Jung really wants an asian arms race, then Japan could probably leapfrog him in a heartbeat, and might even surpass China. Which I'm sure China doesn't want to see.
lil Kimmie just opened up a whole can of worms nobody wanted to see opened. If China were smart, they'd send agents into NK and off the whole entire ruling class.
