国防部：日本加速“再军事化”正成为亚太“火药桶”

MND: A Japan Accelerating Remilitarization Is Becoming a Powder Keg for the Asia-Pacific

6月16日下午，国防部新闻发言人陈曦大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

记者：有日媒披露，日本2026年版《防卫白皮书》草案将中国定位为“前所未有的最大战略挑战”，宣称以“综合国力”加以应对。日本陆上自卫队首次展示“25式高速滑翔弹”，被认为是其主动远程打击能力迈出实质性一步。请问对此有何评论？

Question: As disclosed by Japanese media outlets, in the outline of Japan’s Defense White Paper 2026, China is characterized as “an unprecedented and greatest strategic challenge”, which will be countered by “comprehensive national strength”. The Japanese Ground Self-defense Force recently displayed the Type 25 high-speed glide bomb for the first time, which is considered as an substantive step taken by Japan on developing proactive long-range strike capabilities. Do you have any comments on this?

陈曦：日方反复炒作所谓“中国军事威胁”，刻意渲染对立、制造安全焦虑，为自身军事松绑、大肆扩军备武编织借口。这份所谓白皮书老调重弹，通篇充斥着对中方的攻击抹黑，不值一评。实际上，渲染“威胁”者才是真正威胁制造者。日本持续大幅扩充军费、放宽杀伤性武器出口、推进部署中远程导弹、扩充进攻性军事力量、推动修改和平宪法，甚至鼓吹成为“能战”国家，一个加速“再军事化”的日本正成为亚太的“火药桶”。爱好和平的人们应高度警惕和坚决遏阻日本“新型军国主义”妄动，防止其祸乱世界，捍卫战后国际秩序和持久和平。

Chen Xi: The Japanese side has repeatedly peddled the narrative of so-called China military threat, deliberately stoked confrontation, and created security anxieties. The reason it has done all these things is to to fabricate excuses for itself to break free from restrictions on its defense forces and seeking massive military buildup. The Japanese side repeats its attacks and smears against China in this so-called White Paper, which is not worth any comments. As a matter of fact, those who are claiming to be threatened are the real source of threat. Japan has drastically hiked its defense spending, eased restrictions on exports of lethal weapons, pushed forward the deployment of intermediate and long-range missiles, expanded offensive military capabilities, revised its pacifist Constitution, and even clamored to be a war-capable nation. A Japan accelerating its remilitarization is becoming a powder keg for the Asia-Pacific region. Peace-loving people need to stay highly vigilant and take firm actions to curb the reckless moves of Japanese neo-militarism, prevent it from wreaking havoc on the world, and defend the post-war international order and enduring peace.
