In response to media inquiries regarding reports that the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the US Armed Forces will conduct exercises to deploy Typhon medium-range missile systems at the US Marine Corps Base Iwakuni, the first time this system will be deployed on Japanese soil, Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, said on Thursday that in recent years, Japan has repeatedly broken the constraints of its "Peace Constitution" and its commitment to "exclusive defense," moving further down the dangerous path of military buildup, causing growing concern that it may return to the path of militarism.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. At this important historical juncture, Japan should draw profound lessons from history and act with caution in the field of military security, Zhang said.
