China's Foreign Ministry accused Japan of abandoning its peaceful posture, saying Tokyo has sharply increased defense spending, relaxed controls on lethal arms exports, advanced deployment of medium-to-long-range missiles, expanded offensive military capabilities, stockpiled large quantities of sensitive nuclear materials and pushed to revise its pacifist constitution. The ministry said these moves amount to Japan having 'removed the mask' of a peaceful state and warned the international community to be vigilant against a revival of Japanese militarism.
