国防部：国际社会应切实认清日本右翼势力危险图谋

  MND: The International Community Needs to See through the Dangerous Agenda Pursued by Japan's Right-Wing Forces

  8月27日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻发言人张晓刚大校答记者问。

  记者：据报道，日本防卫省计划于2027年实施大规模扩编，新设3个部门，还计划为无人潜航器配备远程导弹。日本与澳大利亚达成在澳境内试射高超声速导弹的协议。请问对此有何评论？

  Question:It was reported that Japan's Ministry of Defense will be largely expanded and establish three new departments in 2027. The Japanese side also plans to equip its unmanned underwater vehicle with long-range missiles. Additionally, Japan reached an agreement with Australia on the test of its hypersonic missile in Australia. What's your comment on this?

  张晓刚：众所周知，日本是二战战败国，《波茨坦公告》和日本“和平宪法”等明确禁止日本拥有进攻性武器。近年来，日本加速“再军事化”，明目张胆扩军备武，一系列危险动向与二战前军国主义筹备和发动战争极为相似。若让一个曾经热衷对外发动侵略战争、不真正反省历史罪责的国家，重新武装成为“能战国家”，历史悲剧恐将重演。国际社会应切实认清日本右翼势力的危险图谋，坚决遏止日本“新型军国主义”妄动，坚定守护地区和平稳定。

  Zhang Xiaogang:Everyone knows the fact that, Japan, as a defeated country of WWII, is prohibited from obtaining offensive weapons by the Potsdam Proclamation and Japan's pacifist Constitution itself. In recent years, Japan has accelerated its "remilitarization" and openly expanded its military arsenal. These dangerous moves bear striking resemblance to efforts made by the militarist regime in preparing and launching wars in WWII. As a warmongering and aggressive power in the past, Japan has never genuinely reflected on its historical crimes. If it were allowed to rearm and become a "war-capable state," the tragic history may well repeat itself. The international community needs to see through the dangerous agenda pursued by Japan's right-wing forces, firmly contain reckless moves of Japan's "neo-militarism," and resolutely safeguard regional peace and stability.
