BEIJING, Feb. 10 -- "Various signs indicate that Japan's right-wing forces are deliberately attempting to challenge the post-war international order from multiple aspects including military, public opinion and law," said Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense (MND), at a regular press briefing on Tuesday.

It is reported that Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said that the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) should be recognized in Japan's constitution, hoping to redefine the JSDF as a "powerful organization" through constitutional amendment.

The Chinese defense spokesperson pointed out that for a long time, by resorting to the so-called "interpretation" of its constitution, the Japanese government has been constantly breaking through the "exclusively defense-oriented" principle, lifting the ban on collective self-defense, vigorously developing offensive weapons and equipment under the pretext of "defense", and dressing its "remilitarization" in the garb of hypocritical "rule of law".

The spokesperson added that, now the Japanese government is openly seeking to incorporate the JSDF into the constitution. This is not refining the law but rather undermining the foundation of the "pacifist Constitution"; it is not "justifying" the JSDF, but rather loosening military restrictions; it is not returning to the so-called "normal country", but rather retracing the evil path of militarism.

"The international community should remain highly vigilant and resolutely take measures to curb this situation, and join hands to safeguard the fruits of victory of World War II and regional peace and stability," stressed the spokesperson.
