Reporter: According to reports, Japan officially released the 2026 edition of the “White Paper on Defense,” falsely claiming that China's military movements are “the greatest strategic challenge ever,” and that China's military activities around Taiwan tend to be frequent, and that the strategic security environment around Japan is in the most severe and complicated period after the war. Any comments on this please? Chen Xi: The Japanese new edition of the “White Paper on Defense” is full of false narratives, exaggerates the “security crisis in the surrounding area,” and hypes up the so-called “Chinese threat.” It's all just thieves shouting to catch thieves and make excuses for loosening their own military ties. We are strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed to this.
