IS Japan's defence spending just a complete waste of money?
Let's be honest, if USA is not capable of defending against China's DF41, what chance Japan has?
China's most advanced Mach 25 (31,425 km/h; 19,625 mph; 8,660 m/s) DF-41 ICBM has a range of up to 12,000–15,000km (7,460-9,320 miles) and is capable of carrying ten conventional or twelve MIRV (multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles) warheads with 8 x 250 kt or 10 x 150 kt MIRVs of payloads.
When fired fiom chosen launching locations (Silo, road-mobile Transporter erector launcher, rail-mobile) these missiles can reach and destroy most major cities in USA, in less than 20 minutes, with 150meters target accuracy.
Df 41 can hit Tokyo in less than 7 minutes, one DF 41 can comletely destroy all Japan major cities and targets in one go.
Advice to Japan: stop wasting your tax payer money on military build up; better spend them for the benefit of your citizens.
Negotiate and sign a peace treaty with China, this is better than any American Pie in the Sky.
Ukraine came out and said Navalny's death wasn't in fact Putin (as Biden and the US Policy makers were so quick to decry)! David & Elizabeth react to the news in this short reaction video!

US presidential air transport fleet consists of two specially configured Boeing 747-200B. Each plane cost about $2 billion to build and more than $200,000 to fly.
(Extremely high running cost, for example, a single trip to Japan for a diplomatic summit cost US taxpayers around $2.5 million in operating expenses alone.)
Why waste money just to look good?
China does not see the need to waste money to operates an "air force one" like presidential plane. For his official international trips, Xi travels on the cheap using Air China commercial aircraft. Money saved coud be wisely used to subsidise air travel innovations:
side note: very soon, ordinary Chinese citizens can fly around like country presidents.
China has no choice but to waste more time talking to USA.
