Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Japan's Self-Defense Forces' rightward shift and Japan's "re-militarization" deserve the high vigilance of the international community

People’s Financial News, March 31—According to reports, the Self-Defense Forces officer who broke into the Chinese Embassy in Japan with a knife has been sent to a hospital or other processing facility by Japanese police. At a regular press briefing on March 31, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said in response to questions that this incident exposed just how deeply entrenched the poison of Japanese right-wing ideology and a distorted view of history runs, and how great its harm is. The rightward shift of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces and Japan’s “remilitarization” are worth the international community’s close vigilance. “The Chinese side once again urges Japan to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident and, at its root, prevent such incidents from happening again,” Mao Ning said.
