BEIJING, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — China's Defense Ministry on Friday called on Japan to uphold its commitment to peaceful development and exercise military and security prudence, following Japan's recent deployment of fighter jets to an Air Self-Defense Force base.
Jiang Bin, a spokesman for China's Defense Ministry, made the comments at a press conference when asked to comment on Japan's deployment of US-purchased F-35B stealth fighters to an Air Self-Defense Force base and possible deployment on Japanese frigates. If confirmed, the move would be the first time Japan has equipped carrier-based fighters since World War II, according to media reports.
Jiang Bin warned that Japan has been moving further down a dangerous path of militarization in recent years, causing growing international concern that it is returning to the path of militarism.
He stressed that Japan must earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the entire international community through concrete actions demonstrating its commitment to peaceful development. -0-
