Ministry of Defense: The Japanese government cloaks its "re-militarization" in a hypocritical "rule of law" guise
Deputy Director of the News Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Jiang Bin, released a statement regarding recent military-related issues.
Reporter: According to reports, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated that the Self-Defense Forces should be written into the constitution, hoping to position the Self-Defense Forces as a "capable organization" through constitutional amendment. What is your comment on this?
Jiang Bin: For a long time, the Japanese government has continuously broken through the principle of "defense only" by using the so-called "interpretation" of the constitution, lifting the ban on collective self-defense, and vigorously developing offensive weaponry under the pretext of "defense," cloaking Japan's "remilitarization" in a hypocritical "rule of law." Now, they are openly seeking to write the Self-Defense Forces into the constitution, which is not about improving the law, but about undermining the foundation of the "peace constitution"; it is not about legitimizing the Self-Defense Forces, but about seeking military deregulation; it is not about returning to a so-called "normal country," but about attempting to retrace the path of militarism
