Chinese Foreign Ministry: While paying lip service to peace and defense, Japan is actually speeding down the path of remilitarization by ramping up military expenditure, easing the export of lethal weapons, advancing the deployment of intermediate and long-range missiles, developing offensive military capability, hoarding sensitive nuclear materials, promoting the revision of its pacifist constitution, and even advocating that Japan should become a war-capable nation. In fact, Japan has torn off the mask of a pacifist country all by itself. The international community must stay on high alert and should never allow Japanese militarism to return and menace the world again.
