A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry denounced the reckless remarks of the Japanese defense minister who found fault with the defence building of his country at a press conference on December 16.

Japan, a former serious convicted criminal of aggression, has no qualification to find fault with the just defence building of China, he said, adding that Japan says it maintains “exclusive defense” and “passive defense”, but has not actually fulfilled the commitment specified in its constitution while neglecting its duty as a defeated nation.

All peace-loving countries, which are increasing their vigilance against and resolutely restraining any dangerous move of Japan to revive militarism, will jointly defend the gains of the Second World War achieved with difficulty, he stressed.
