Chinese FM censures Japanese defense minister for his reckless remarks

July 27, 2026

A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry denounced the Japanese defense minister’s reckless remarks at a press conference on July 21.

As regards the fact that shortly ago, the Japanese defense minister argued for discussing a nuclear weapon-related policy, the spokesperson said that it fully revealed the Japanese authorities’ ambition to abandon the “three non-nuclear principles” and challenge the postwar international order.

If the Japanese right-wing forces are left to run amuck and possess nukes, it will bring disaster to the international community and the consequences will be beyond imagination, the spokesperson warned.

The spokesperson called on the international community to be highly vigilant against and resolutely contain Japan’s “neo-militarism” that has already revealed its wild ambition.
