On the afternoon of August 7, Ministry of National Defense press spokesman Colonel Chen Xi released news on recent military issues. Reporter: According to reports, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force recently conducted a live fire of the “Tomahawk” cruise missile. The Japanese Minister of Defense said that in the face of the harshest and most complex security environment after the war, long-range missiles will become a counterattack method for Japan. Furthermore, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force also conducted a new type of missile landing test. Any comments on this please? Chen Xi: Japan's trend of speeding up the development of offensive weapons is becoming increasingly rampant and dangerous, and deserves close attention from countries in the region. Facts have proved that Japan's so-called “threat to neighboring security” is only an excuse for breaking through the Peace Constitution and “exclusive defense” regulations and speeding up “re-militarization.” What really threatens Japan's security and regional peace and stability is precisely Japan's domestic wilful act of seeking to expand its military weapons and accelerate “re-militarization.” Nightmares cannot be repeated; peace needs to be protected. The international community must unite and act together to stop Japan's “new type of militarism” from becoming a problem and wreaking havoc on the world.
