China Warns Against Japanese Military Expansion
On December 10, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated at a regular press conference that Japan's accelerated military expansion would only raise questions about its future and prompt the international community to re-examine its historical crimes. China called on all peace-loving countries to be vigilant and prevent the resurgence of Japanese militarism, working together to safeguard the outcomes of World War II.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Comments on Collective Self-Defense and Post-WWII Japan
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that collective self-defense, as per the UN Charter, is aimed at maintaining international security and preventing the resurgence of fascist forces. After World War II, Japan was restricted from exercising this right, with the Potsdam Proclamation prohibiting its rearmament. Japan's constitution also commits to renouncing war and the use of force in settling disputes, establishing a principle of exclusive defense. On the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the international community must be vigilant and prevent the revival of militarism, working together to uphold the post-war order and peace.
