Quote:

"Those provisions are sure to rankle China * * * The drones [Global Hawk; to station in Japan for the first time], as well as Navy reconnaissance planes [Boeing P-8 Poseidon] never before stationed outside the United States

"The agreement was signed during a visit here by the secretaries of state and defense, John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, who were meeting with their Japanese counterparts.

"For its part, Japan committed to bolster its security capabilities by creating a new American-style National Security Council, and said it would expand assistance to Southeast Asian countries to help them resist Chinese territorial claims. Japan also pledged to increase military spending over all, despite the country’s need to pare down its huge national debt, and said it might change its current interpretation of its pacifist Constitution to allow its military to come to the aid of American forces under attack. Because the wording of the agreement was worked out jointly, those provisions suggested American support for the changes [about-re-interpretation], some of which remain controversial in Japan
