Recently, Japan is openly revealing its intention to revise the "three non-nuclear principles".

Answering the question raised by dietmen as regards the nuclear policy, the Japanese defense minister unhesitatingly said that the issue of revising the existing nuclear policy should be discussed.

The existing nuclear policy he mentioned is the "three non-nuclear principles" which have been maintained by Japan for decades.

At the end of last year, too, he said on a public occasion that it is necessary to discuss what is needed to defend the lives of the people and their peaceful life without ruling out any option.

In a word, his assertion is that Japan should revise the "three non-nuclear principles", which it has so far maintained, in order to defend its security.

The "three non-nuclear principles" are a national policy which Japan has advocated since the 1960s. Japan announced to the world the principles of not possessing, manufacturing and bringing in nuclear weapons, while emphasizing that it is the only victim of A-bomb in the world. And it has taken every opportunity to clamour about "anti-nuclear" and "non-nuclear" in the international arena.

But in fact, Japan has been engrossed in grasping the nuclear attack mode by bringing nuclear weapons in the archipelago and participating in nuclear war drills under various pretexts while laying material and technical foundations for possessing nukes.

The US’ nuclear equipment has been openly brought in Japan since decades ago and many bases have been built to stockpile the US’ nukes in different parts of the country. It is not a secret that Yokosuka became the base of the US 7th fleet and a stronghold serving to carry out the US’ nuclear strategy in the vast area ranging from the Western Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean.

The recent years’ US moves to contain its strategic rivals in the region through the "nuclear alliance" have provided Japan with another golden chance for realizing its wild ambition for nuclear armament.

Accordingly, the "three non-nuclear principles" have become a mere show.

And now Japan is trying to completely throw away the showy sign.

It is undoubtedly geared to highlighting the justness of its rearmament and, in particular, its nuclear possession.

The present Japanese authorities are touting the "building of a strong Japan" policy in order to make the country a war state and putting spurs to the reinforcement of the Self-Defense Forces while branding the DPRK, China and other neighbouring countries as "threats" and "challenges" in the draft “defense white papers”. Such moves are sufficient enough to reveal Japan's intention to possess even nukes, obsessed with the ambition for reinvasion.

Japanese militarism, which was hell-bent on aggression and plunder in the first half of the 20th century, made a desperate bid to possess nuclear weapons to dominate the world, but went to ruin.

If the neo-militarist forces of Japan crazy for overseas expansion and reinvasion try to follow in the old militarists’ wake, they will inevitably meet ruin in the end.
