Ministry of National Defense: Japan's 2022 version of "Defense White Paper" involved in China is full of prejudice

Reporter: On July 22, the Japanese government passed the 2022 version of the "Defense White Paper", saying that China's national defense policy and military power construction were "lacking transparency". In the East China Sea and Nanhai, the current situation was unilaterally changed. What are the comments on this?

Wu Qian: Japan's 2022 edition of the "Defense White Paper" involved in China ignored the facts and was full of prejudice. He talked about the three and four of the Chinese defense and military construction and normal military activities. The situation in the region was tight, and the Chinese side expressed strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition on this, and proposed to the Japanese side with a serious statement.

China has unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development and pursues a military strategy of defensive national defense policies and active defense. China ’s strengthening of national defense and military construction is to defend national sovereignty, security, and development benefits, and to provide public safety products for the international community. History has continued to prove that the Chinese army has always been a firm power to maintain world peace. In contrast, Japan not only does not reflect on learning from history, but also blindly speaks China, conspiring to modify the peace constitution, greatly increases defense expenses, develops offensive combat power, and tries to break through the post -war international order. This has caused the international community including China Serious concerns and high vigilance.

The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs and cannot interfere with any foreign interference. Compatriots on both sides of the strait will not forget that Japan has forcibly captured Taiwan with the means of aggression. The crimes of colonial rule are in hardships, and it is difficult to shirk for the Chinese people. The Japanese side used the "Defense White Paper" to intervene in Taiwan's issue, seriously violating the basic criteria of international relations, and violated the serious commitment made by the Japanese side to the Chinese on the issue of Taiwan. dangerous. The Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands are the inherent territories of China. The Chinese side cruise and law enforcement in the Diaoyu Islands waters is legitimate. The Japanese side has no right to say three. China has indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and its nearby waters, and has always respects and safeguarded the freedom of navigation and flying in the South China Sea in accordance with international law. Japan is not a country in the South China Sea issue. It is unique and irresponsible to provoking departure from the South China Sea issue, dancing with beauty, and making waves. The Chinese army is determined, capable, confident to defend national sovereign security and territorial integrity, safeguard the national marine rights and interests, and maintain regional peace and stability.

We ask the Japanese side to face up and reflect on the history of aggression, stop the victim's disguise to confuse international audiovisual, stop wrong words and deeds on related issues, and earnestly use a responsible attitude and actual actions to obtain trust in Asian neighbors and international communities.
