China: Japan on Brink of Manufacturing Nuclear-Weapons! (22.7.2026)

Blogger’s Note: Imperial Japan – a fascist entity – was the enemy of the US both before and during WWII. Indeed, the Pacific War was brutal – and this brutality inspired the US to request that the Soviet Red Army and Mongolian People’s Army enter Northeast China and clear it out of all Japanese colonial and militaristic presence in 1945. Although the US dropped two atomic bombs onto civilians targets in Japan during WWII – the US has used a defeated Japan as a bulwark against the spread of Socialism in Asia – on the one-hand banning nuclear weapons in Japan – whilst simultaneously supplying all the constituent parts (and radio-active components) for such weapons to be assembled at short-notice (just in-case the US needs to fire said weapons from Japanese territory). This policy has unfolded whilst the US has hypocritically bombed Iran for Israel – and Israel has bombed everywhere else using US-supplied weaponry. To be clear, an unstable (far-right) Japan has been given a) permission to gather all the constituent parts that are used to manufacture a nuclear weapon by the US, and is b) under its current far-right government is agitating to assemble this gathered material into functioning nuclear bombs to threaten China (like the nuclear bombs in the UK – these weapons of mass destruction cannot be fired without the permission of the US – as this safeguard prevents these weapons being used against the US).

International community must be highly vigilant to Japan’s neo-militarism: FM

(ECNS) — Japan’s neo-militarism has already reared its head and the international community must be highly vigilant and firmly oppose it, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a press conference in response to Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi, who advocates unrestricted discussions on nuclear-related policies.

Lin said it is extremely rare, provocative and dangerous after WWII for a sitting Japanese defense chief to make such remarks, adding that the ruling Japanese authorities’ ambition to break away from the Three Non-Nuclear Principles and challenge the post-WWII international order has been fully exposed.

He noted that the incumbent leader of Japan has advocated revising the principles as a member of the Diet, adding that after taking office, she has accelerated Japan’s remilitarization and taken a string of dangerous moves on nuclear weapon policy — strengthening cooperation on so-called “extended deterrence,” promoting the development of nuclear-powered submarines, seeking “nuclear sharing,” and introducing medium-range missile systems.

He said senior officials of the prime minister’s office and coalition party have publicly advocated revising the three non-nuclear principles to challenge the bottom line of Japan and the international community.

Shinjiro Koizumi has at various international fora affirmed Japan’s commitment to the exclusively defense-oriented policy, peaceful development and three non-nuclear principles, Lin said. “However, back in Japan, he is clamoring for discussing nuclear weapon policy ‘without any taboos.’ What ‘commitment’ is there to speak of? These self-contradictory moves once again reveal how Japan has disguised itself and deceived the international community,” he said.

Japan is an internationally recognized nuclear threshold state, Lin said, noting that it has long been deliberately maintaining the capability for a rapid nuclear breakout, stockpiling approximately 44.4 metric tons of separated plutonium — enough to produce a large number of nuclear warheads.

Japanese right-wing forces, citing so-called “external threats” and “self-defense,” have been breaking free from Japan’s Constitution, international law and domestic law, and challenging the postwar international order and the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, he added.

“Speeding down a dangerous path, they have posed a real threat to regional peace and stability. Should the international community allow Japanese right-wing forces to have their way and push for the development of powerful offensive weapons or the possession of nuclear weapons, Japan will once again wreak havoc on the world with catastrophic consequences,” the spokesperson said.
