West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry strongly denounced and rejected Japan’s moves for remilitarization at a press conference on May 26.

The chief of the Cabinet Secretariat of Japan claimed that his country’s policy for “exclusive defense” remains unchanged and that China’s assertion related to Japan’s “neo-militarism” is invalid. In this regard, the spokesman disclosed that in recent years the Japanese authorities have steadily increased armaments, eased restrictions on the export of lethal weapons and frequently participated in military drills and pushed ahead with the deployment of long-range missiles.

He added that they built up “counterattack capability” which can proactively make attacks, stockpiled nuclear materials in large quantities, promoted the revision of the “pacifist constitution” and constantly broke the regulations of international law and domestic law while arguing that theirs should become a “country capable of fighting a war”.

This is not an act of maintaining the immutability of the “exclusive defense” policy, he said, adding that if their deeds are different from their words, it is impossible to allay the concern of the international community about the remilitarization of Japan.
