National Defense Ministry Spokesperson, Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, stated that the international community, including Southeast Asian countries, has consistently criticized Japan’s military security trends.
Zhang pointed out that, far from moderating, Tokyo increases its military spending, boosts the export of lethal weapons, and openly advocates for acquiring nuclear weapons.
The spokesperson underscored that these actions reveal the Japanese right-wing forces’ intention to move toward remilitarization and revive militarism.
In this context, Zhang called on countries and peoples who defend peace to identify these aims and safeguard the international order established after World War II.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning, in turn, referred this Thursday to an academic report that warns of the nuclear ambitions of the Japanese right wing.
