Apparently the Japanese believe that they can have their cake and eat it too. The striking thing is that a majority are concerned about China, but also a majority are against additional taxes to pay for increased defense expenditures.

I can also see why Japanese citizens would not want to spend more on a military force to fight in a conflict over Taiwan.
