BEIJING, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) — China's Defense Ministry on Thursday warned against a revival of Japanese militarism, declaring China's readiness to work with all peace-loving countries to prevent it.
With the new administration taking office, Japan is taking active steps to build up its military power and seeks to accelerate the easing of restrictions on military development, Defense Ministry spokesman Jiang Bin said, commenting on the new Japanese government's recent military actions.
He noted that Japan had acquired offensive weapons under the pretext of strengthening its “potential for retaliatory strikes” and had openly advocated nuclear weapons in violation of the obligations it had assumed as a losing country and enshrined in legally binding international documents, including the Cairo and Potsdam Declarations.
Such actions pose a serious threat to peace and stability in Asia and the world as a whole and raise heightened concerns among countries in the region and the international community, Jiang Bin pointed out.
"China will work with all peace-loving countries to resolutely suppress the resurgence of the specter of militarism and firmly safeguard the post-war international order as well as international fairness and justice," he said. -0-
