00:00Japan says China's increasing military activity in the surrounding region could have a serious impact on its security.
00:08In an annual defense white paper, Japan noted several encroachments by the Chinese military over the past 12 months,
00:15including a Chinese military aircraft entering its airspace last August.
00:20The report also cited two separate incidents in which a Chinese aircraft carrier sailed through Japan's economic waters most recently in June.
00:28China called it routine training.
00:31In response to these growing security risks, Japan has stepped up its defense spending in recent years and bolstered its ties with the U.S. and other allies.
