Japan has announced plans to deploy surface-to-air missiles on Yonaguni Island by 2031, just 110 kilometres from Taiwan. The remote island, home to fewer than 2,000 residents, is being transformed into a frontline military outpost. Alongside missile systems capable of tracking 100 targets, Japan will station an electronic warfare unit to disrupt enemy communications. China has condemned any move that could involve intervention in Taiwan, calling it interference in its internal affairs. With the United States backing Taiwan and regional tensions already high, this deployment adds another layer to a volatile strategic flashpoint.
