BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin criticized Japan's attempts to carry out remilitarization under the hypocritical banner of "rule of law."

Jiang Bin made the remarks at a press conference on Tuesday, responding to a question about Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent calls to amend the country's constitution to include a reference to the Self-Defense Forces.

According to a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson, this proves that Japan is trying to return to the sinister path of militarism.

As Jiang Bin pointed out, for a long time, the Japanese government has been using the trick of so-called “constitutional interpretation” to repeatedly overcome the limitations of a purely defensive policy, and has been seeking to remilitarize Japan under the hypocritical banner of the “rule of law.”

Various signs indicate that Japan's right-wing forces are deliberately maneuvering on multiple fronts to challenge the post-war international order, Jiang Bin noted, calling on the international community to remain highly vigilant and take decisive action to counter such attempts.
