Beijing, May 9 /Xin Hua/ — An official representative of the Ministry of National Defense of the PRC, Zyan Bin, on Saturday called on the Japanese side to show courage to honestly face history and take real actions to atone for committed crimes, sharply criticizing new attempts by Tokyo to change the constitution and expand military power.
“Our time calls for peace and cooperation, not for war and confrontation,” said Tszian Bin at another departmental press conference.
Thus, he commented on the journalists’ request about the recent visits of the Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi, to Australia and Vietnam, during which she presented the so-called updated vision of a “free and open Indo-Pacific region” and insisted that Japan’s postwar constitution, developed during the US military occupation, must be periodically updated in accordance with the demands of the times.
According to him, under the pretext of the so-called “free and open Indo-Pacific region” and “cooperation in the field of security,” the ruling circles of Japan are provoking confrontation between blocs and creating “small circles.” “This undermines the strategic security and interests of other countries and serves as a pretext for Japan to free itself from restrictions related to its military development, against which we firmly oppose,” he noted.
