Ministry of Foreign Affairs: the relevant negative trends of Japan deserve the high vigilance of the international community
2022-05-26
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on May 25 that as a non nuclear weapon state party to the Treaty on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons, Japan has long regarded itself as a victim of nuclear weapons, but in practice it enjoys the "nuclear umbrella" of the United States, and now connives at domestic discussions on the "nuclear sharing" policy in violation of the Treaty on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons. This contradictory approach of Japan is extremely hypocritical. The relevant negative trends of Japan deserve the high vigilance of the international community. At the regular press conference on the same day, a reporter asked: Recently, Japanese politicians have frequently made statements on supporting nuclear weapons, falsely saying that they want to "share nuclear weapons" with the United States and introduce us nuclear weapons. On the 23rd, the Japanese and US leaders issued a joint statement after their talks, saying that the two sides will ensure the reliability and resilience of the US extended deterrence against Japan and consolidate the bilateral dialogue mechanism on extended deterrence. Wang Wenbin said that China has taken note of the relevant reports and expressed serious concern about them. According to the provisions of the Treaty on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons, non nuclear weapon states parties undertake not to accept nuclear weapons or control over such weapons directly or indirectly from any transferor. If Japan and the United States "share nuclear weapons", it will violate the provisions of the Treaty on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons and aggravate the risk of nuclear proliferation and nuclear conflict. Wang Wenbin said that as a non nuclear weapon state party to the Treaty on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons, while failing to deeply reflect on its history of aggression, Japan has long regarded itself as a victim of nuclear weapons, singing a high profile of promoting nuclear disarmament and opposing nuclear proliferation. In practice, Japan enjoys the "nuclear umbrella" of the United States and opposes and obstructs the United States from abandoning its policy of first use of nuclear weapons, Now it has connived at domestic discussions on the "nuclear sharing" policy in violation of the Treaty on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons. Japan's self contradictory approach is extremely hypocritical. Recently, Japan openly discussed revising its commitment to the "three non nuclear principles" and even deleted relevant statements in the latest version of the national report submitted to the NPT Review Conference. The relevant negative trends of Japan deserve the high vigilance of the international community. Wang Wenbin said that if Japan really takes a responsible attitude on international security and arms control issues, it should earnestly fulfill its obligations as a non nuclear weapon state, continue to abide by its commitment to the "three non nuclear principles" and refrain from seeking nuclear weapons in any form. "As an ally of the United States, Japan should also promote the United States to abandon the Cold War mentality, effectively reduce the role of nuclear weapons in national security policies, assume special and priority responsibilities for nuclear disarmament, and make due contributions to maintaining global and regional strategic balance and stability."
