Ministry of Defense: Japan's Military Expansion Ambitions Laid Bare
On the afternoon of April 9, Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, released a statement regarding recent military-related issues.
Reporter: According to reports, the Japanese Minister of Defense has announced the deployment of long-range missiles with "capabilities to attack enemy bases," and some analysts believe this move is clearly aimed at China. What is your comment on this?
Zhang Xiaogang: Japan's rapid "remilitarization" is accelerating towards a dangerous situation of losing control, which completely deviates from the constraints of the "peace constitution" and the principle of "defensive defense," exposing its ambitions for military expansion. Japan's "new militarism" is becoming a threat, and the "evil tiger" unleashed will surely bring disaster to all, also plunging the Japanese people into a deep abyss of catastrophe. The international community should remain highly vigilant about this. It is important to emphasize that while the enemy may be strong, our resolve is stronger; the Chinese military has sufficient capability to counter threats and provocations, making aggressors pay an unbearable price to defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests.
