On April 1st, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a routine press conference. Mao Ning stated that Japan, under the guise of "defensive retaliation," is deploying offensive weapons far beyond the scope of self-defense and "exclusive defense," seriously violating the provisions of legally binding international documents such as the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation, and Japan's Instrument of Surrender, as well as the Japanese Constitution and existing domestic norms. This once again reflects that right-wing forces in Japan are pushing security policies towards aggression and expansion. Japan's "new militarism" is threatening regional peace and stability, and the international community should be highly vigilant against this.
