Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning underscored that Tokyo must abide by the four political documents adopted by the two countries, \u201cimmediately retract its erroneous comments, and effectively reflect its commitments to China in practical actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mao Ning also noted that Japan has increased its defense budget for 13 consecutive years and modified its arms export policy, allowing for the first time the sale of lethal weapons, such as the \u201cPatriot\u201d missiles, to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spokesperson pointed out that Tokyo is also assessing modifying the principle of \u201cnot producing, possessing, or transporting nuclear weapons,\u201d which would open the door to agreements to share this kind of weaponry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She recalled that the post-war order is based on International Law, including the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Declaration, and Japan\u2019s Act of Surrender, which require the complete demilitarization of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf Japan wants to return to the old path of militarism, abandon its promise of peaceful development, and undermine the post-war international order, the Chinese people will not agree, the international community will not allow it, and it will only end in failure,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently told the Diet (Japanese Parliament) that if China attacks Taiwan, it would create an \u201cexistential crisis\u201d for Japan, which would entail the mobilization of the country\u2019s Self-Defense Forces and the possible intervention of Tokyo in that conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
