Japan is expanding a military base on a tiny island east of Taiwan months after the Chinese militaryโ€™s ballistic missiles landed near its shores last year, rattling locals amid worsening regional military tensions.

Yonaguni, a remote outpost of Japanโ€™s southern Okinawa prefecture, is located 110km from Taiwan and is near the Diaoyu Islands, a group of islands claimed by Beijing but administered by Tokyo as the Senkakus.

In August, Yonaguniโ€™s 1,700 residents were shocked when six Chinese missiles fell just off its shores, in waters Tokyo considers to be within Japanโ€™s exclusive economic zone.

The weapons were part of air and sea exercises conducted by Chinese military units in response to a visit to Taiwan by then-speaker of the US House, Nancy Pelosi.

China effectively ignored Japanโ€™s subsequent protests, and earlier said there was no exclusive economic zone in the waters where the missiles landed because the two nations had not agreed on the limits.

Work is now under way on Yonaguni to expand a base for the Japan Self-Defence Forces and deploy a surface-to-air missile unit to the island. Given the presence of Japanese forces and the islandโ€™s proximity to Taiwan โ€“ making it strategically important โ€“ analysts have suggested that it would inevitably be attacked in the event of a regional conflict.

Tokyo conducted a study last summer into the feasibility of using the cityโ€™s subway system as a shelter from a nuclear attack. A total of 105 stations across the capital have been identified, but they are unlikely to provide adequate protection to all of the cityโ€™s 13.96 million residents.
