"In recent years, Japan has repeatedly breached its commitments under the pacifist Constitution, substantially increased its defense budget, pushed for the export of lethal weapons, and sought to revise its Three Non-Nuclear Principles. As it is quickening the pace of loosening restrictions on military development, Japan's militarism is poised to make a comeback. As the Chinese saying goes, 'Individuals can't establish themselves if they are not trustworthy, just as a nation can't thrive if it is not credible.' We urge the Japanese side to fully meet its obligations as a defeated country in WWII in accordance with international law, stop challenging the post-war international order, refrain from sabotaging peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific, and not to say one thing but do another. Should the Japanese side insist on barreling down the wrong path, it shall provoke widespread outrage and ultimately face the judgment of both history and justice."

Storyline


Japan will only provoke widespread outrage should it go down the wrong path, said a spokesman for China's Ministry of National Defense on Friday.

Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, the spokesman, made the statement at a press conference in Beijing when being asked to comment on the reports revealing that the Japanese government recently approved a supplementary budget proposal for fiscal year 2025, increasing its total defense expenditure to 11 trillion yen and achieving the goal of defense spending accounting for 2 percent of GDP ahead of schedule.

In addition, the Japanese side is in negotiations with the Philippine side on the export of Japan Self-Defense Force's Type 03 Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missile system.
