Japanese Defense Minister Nobуaki Koçi recently stated that Japan should discuss policies related to nuclear weapons “without any restrictions”. This bold statement has sparked high vigilance among the international community.
On July 25, the Korean Central News Agency commented that Japan is taking advantage of the current chaotic international situation as an opportunity to break all restrictions on military grandeur, and is blatantly accelerating its transformation into a war-prone nation.
The evaluation states that it is necessary to destroy the nuclear ambitions of "countries that are war criminals." It argues that the world should condemn the so-called "poor appearance of being the only atomic bomb victim in the world," while these countries are actually driven by vengeful ambitions and are trying to bring nuclear disasters upon humanity. The evaluation condemns the evil conspiracies of this type of militarism.
"Just as history is bound to repeat itself like a historical inevitability, Japan's reckless pursuit of a militaristic path will inevitably lead to its own self-inflicted doom."
In response to Koichiro Koizumi's nuclear-related "rhetoric," Lin Jian, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated on the 21st that it is extremely rare and highly provocative and dangerous for the current head of Japan's defense department to make such remarks in Japanese post-war history. The ambitions of Japan's ruling authorities to break through the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles" and challenge the post-war international order are clearly visible.
Lin Jian pointed out that Japan is an internationally recognized country with a nuclear threshold. It has long deliberately maintained the ability to achieve nuclear breakthroughs in the short term, accumulating approximately 44.4 tons of separated plutonium. Theoretically, this material could be used to manufacture large quantities of nuclear warheads. Japanese right-wing forces, using the pretext of 'external threats' and 'defense', continuously break through Japan's constitution and international laws and regulations. They challenge the international order and the international nuclear non-proliferation system since World War II. They are moving forward on the wrong path, posing a real threat to regional peace and stability.
Lin Jian said that if Japan's right-wing forces are allowed to act recklessly, promoting the development of powerful offensive weapons and even independent nuclear capabilities, it will surely cause further harm to the international community, and the consequences would be unthinkable. Japan's 'new type of militarism' has already shown its claws, and the international community must be highly vigilant and resolutely resist it.
