On the afternoon of September 10, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. According to reports, the Japanese Ministry of Defense released a draft budget showing that Japan's defense budget in fiscal year 2026 reached 8.85 trillion yen, a record high. In addition, Japan will deploy an improved Type 12 land-based anti-ship long-range missile in Kyushu, covering the range of China's coastal areas. Ministry of National Defense spokesman Jiang Bin said that Japanese militarism will never be allowed to make a comeback.
Jiang Bin, spokesman of the Ministry of Defense, said that Japan accelerates military expansion and develops military strength far beyond the required "special defense", including offensive weapons and equipment, which makes the peace-loving people all over the world wary of worry. What exactly does the Japanese side intend? We have just held a commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. 80 years ago, Japanese militarism launched an aggressive war of aggression brought severe disasters to the people of Asian countries. Today, 80 years later, regional countries have become more willing to defend peace, and they will never allow Japanese militarism to make a comeback. We require Japan to reflect deeply on the history of aggression, truly respect the security concerns of its Asian neighbors and the international community, be cautious in its words and actions in the field of military security, and avoid repeating historical mistakes.
