China Warns Japan's Military Buildup Endangers Regional Stability

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, on June 23, Guo Jia-kun, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, presided over a regular press conference.

Today's Russian journalist: According to reports, Ukrainian defense companies are actively seeking military cooperation with Asian countries, including the possibility of producing combat drones in Japan. Russia has repeatedly warned that Japan's support for Ukraine could lead to Japan being more deeply involved in conflicts and prolong them. Does China express concerns about the growing military and drone production cooperation between Ukraine and Japan? Do they believe such cooperation could undermine peace and stability in the Asian region?

Guo Jia Kun: The Chinese side has always believed that cooperation between countries should be conducive to regional peace and stability.

In recent years, Japan has been vigorously promoting "re-militarization," developing medium and long-range powerful offensive weapons, deregulating the export of lethal weapons, engaging frequently with countries outside its region, expanding the activities of the Self-Defense Forces, and establishing a combat system capable of actual warfare. This violates principles such as Japan's constitution, international laws, and the principle of "defensive defense," challenges the post-war international order, and goes against Japan's self-proclaimed image as a "peaceful country." Japan's "new type of militarism" is becoming a threat, endangering regional peace and stability. The international community must be highly vigilant and resolutely prevent this from happening.
