According to a report by Japan's “Tokyo News” today, the move by the government of Gao to revise the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles” triggered a strong backlash from local governments in Japan. The report quoted statistics from the Japanese Senate Affairs Bureau. From the establishment of the Gao Municipal Administration in October last year to July of this year, at least 128 local councils across Japan submitted opinions to the Diet, demanding that the government adhere to the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles,” setting a new high for previous administrations. The “Three Non-Nuclear Principles” mean “not possessing, not manufacturing, or transporting nuclear weapons.” This principle has been the basic policy of the Japanese Government on nuclear weapons since it was adopted by the Japanese House of Representatives in 1971. According to Japanese media, the Japanese government is trying to complete the revision of the “Three Security Documents” within this year and revise the principle of not importing nuclear weapons in the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles,” which has aroused strong concerns in various circles.
