Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said Japan’s right wing has long distorted
wartime history and that recent moves by ruling authorities to expand the
military, seek stronger US nuclear protection and attempt to overturn the Three
Non‑Nuclear Principles risk undermining regional stability. He warned some
senior Diet officials have even called for autonomous possession of nuclear
weapons. Marking 81 years since Hiroshima and the 80th anniversary of the Tokyo
trials, Lin urged Japan to respect history, face international concerns and
properly discharge its international legal obligations not to proliferate
nuclear weapons.
