Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said reports that, since a reported Sanae Takaichi administration took office, about 82 local assemblies including Hiroshima and Nagasaki have submitted petitions to the central government or parliament urging Tokyo to uphold or codify the Three Non‑Nuclear Principles.
