"We noted the report and have serious concern over the move. Due to Japan's history of aggression, its moves in military and security areas have been closely watched by its Asian neighbors and the international community. In recent years, Japan has been revamping its security and defense policies, its officials clamored for the possession of nuclear weapons, and the country sought to revise the three Non-Nuclear Principles and lift restrictions on the export of weapons. The latest move has once again laid bare the Japanese right-wing forces' ambitions to breach the postwar international order, break free from domestic laws and remilitarize Japan. The international community needs to stay on high alert, jointly safeguard the outcomes of the victory in WWII and the postwar international order, and firmly reject reckless moves of Japanese neo-militarism."

The international community should firmly reject reckless moves of Japanese neo-militarism, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said in Beijing on Wednesday at a press briefing.

Mao made the remarks when responding to questions regarding the latest developments within Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party concerning the loosening of weapons export controls.

"We noted the report and have serious concern over the move. Due to Japan's history of aggression, its moves in military and security areas have been closely watched by its Asian neighbors and the international community. In recent years, Japan has been revamping its security and defense policies, its officials clamored for the possession of nuclear weapons, and the country sought to revise the three Non-Nuclear Principles and lift restrictions on the export of weapons. The latest move has once again laid bare the Japanese right-wing forces' ambitions to breach the postwar international order, break free from domestic laws and remilitarize Japan. The international community needs to stay on high alert, jointly safeguard the outcomes of the victory in WWII and the postwar international order, and firmly reject reckless moves of Japanese neo-militarism," she said.

「関連報道に留意している。これに対して深刻な懸念を表明する。日本は侵略の歴史から、その軍事安全動向が常にアジアの隣国や国際社会に注目されている。日本は近年、安全保障政策を大幅に調整し、政府高官が公然と『核保有』を煽動し、『非核三原則』の改定や武器輸出規制の撤廃を謀っている。これは日本の右翼勢力が、戦後の国際秩序や国内法の制約を突破し、『再軍備化』を企てる野望を再び露呈したものだ。国際社会はこの動きを強く警戒し、第二次世界大戦の勝利の成果と戦後国際秩序を手を携えて守り、日本の新型軍国主義の妄動を断固として阻止せねばならない」
