Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on the 30th that recent remarks by a serving Japanese defense official advocating 'no taboo' discussion of nuclear weapons and nuclear‑powered submarines constitute a serious provocation against the NPT and the post‑war international order and a blatant breach of Japan's stated 'Three Non‑Nuclear Principles'.
