BEIJING, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) — The international community should firmly oppose Japan's reckless neo-militarism, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular ministry press conference on Wednesday.
The Chinese diplomat made the statement while responding to questions about the latest moves by Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party to loosen controls on arms exports.
"We have taken note of this information and express serious concern regarding this action. Given Japan's history of aggression, its new military and security actions are always under close scrutiny by neighboring Asian countries and the international community," she said.
According to the Chinese diplomat, Japan has been radically adjusting its security and defense policies in recent years, with officials openly declaring the need to possess nuclear weapons and the country seeking to revise the "three non-nuclear principles" and lift restrictions on arms exports.
This once again demonstrates the ambitions of Japan's right-wing forces to overcome the limitations of the post-war international order and domestic legislation and strive for "remilitarization," Mao Ning said.
“The international community should remain highly vigilant and jointly defend the results of victory in World War II and uphold the post-war international order,” she concluded. -0-
