Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on September 30. A Phoenix TV reporter asked a question. According to reports, on the 28th, Japan's Minister of Defense Shinjiro Koizumi said that discussions on possessing nuclear weapons and nuclear submarines should not be ruled out when revising the “Three Security Documents,” saying “discussions should be carried out without taboos or predetermined conclusions”. “If even discussions are not allowed, then there is a bit out of touch with my sense of crisis.” What comments does the Chinese side have on this? In response, Guo Jiakun said, “First, possessing nuclear weapons is not an issue that Japan wants to discuss. Japan is a non-nuclear weapon party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. It does not accept, manufacture, possess, or proliferate nuclear weapons. It is an international law obligation that cannot be shirked by Japan, and there is no room for bargaining. “In February of this year, Sanae Takaichi reaffirmed her commitment to the 'Three Non-Nuclear Principles'. The Japanese representative who attended the May Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons confirmed many times that it would not change the 'three non-nuclear principles, and I am still hearing that.” Guo Jiakun said that Japan's current defense department head's rhetoric that “there is no taboo to discuss nuclear weapons and nuclear submarines” is a serious provocation and blatant violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the post-World War II international order, seriously deviates from the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles” that Japan claims to pursue, and once again reveals Japan's right-wing forces trying to possess nuclear weapons. Guo Jiakun pointed out that in recent years, Japan has continuously accelerated the “remilitarization” process, seeking to abandon the “three non-nuclear principles,” strengthen the so-called “extended deterrence” arrangement, seek to deploy nuclear weapons in Japan, in an attempt to achieve gradual nuclear unbundling, and continuously challenge the bottom line of the international community. Guo Jiakun stressed that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the Tokyo trial, and history has not and will not forget the profound disaster that Japanese militarism brought to the people of Asia and the world. Japan's right-wing forces continue to challenge the post-World War II international order and the international nuclear nonproliferation system, and are going further and further along the wrong path. The international community should urge Japan to strictly abide by the three non-nuclear principles, strictly implement its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, completely abandon “remilitarization” and attempts to possess nuclear weapons, and effectively respond to the international community's serious concerns.
