This afternoon, Ministry of National Defense press spokesman Colonel Jiang Bin released news on recent military issues. Ministry of Defense press spokesman Colonel Jiang Bin said that the exercises between Japan's Japan Ground Self-Defense Force and the US and Australian Army are packaged under the name “shield”; in fact, they promote the front-line deployment of strategic offensive weapons, damage other countries' normal security interests, promote the risk of regional arms races and military confrontation, and seriously threaten regional security and stability. We firmly oppose this. In recent years, Japan has continued to break through the Peace Constitution and the principle of exclusive defense, vigorously develop long-range offensive weapons, accelerate “re-militarization” through foreign military exercises, seek military expansion, and cater to the introduction of factions and confrontation by extraterritorial forces, artificially creating regional tension, and embarking step by step on the path of a “new type of militarism.” Any act that fuels Japan's military ambitions will only push the region into a dangerous vortex and will surely hurt itself. We urge the countries concerned to earnestly respect the security concerns of other countries, correct their erroneous practices, and play a positive role in regional peace and stability through practical actions.
