💥 On Friday, December 19, 2025, the Chinese mainland's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun called out Japan's growing nuclear ambitions, urging Tokyo to respect international law and stick to the Japanese constitution.
Guo's remarks came in response to a senior Japanese official's suggestion that Japan should consider developing nuclear weapons. According to Guo, such noises from the Japanese side reflect the ambitions of right-wing conservatives aiming to revive militarism and break free from the established international order. "Japan must deeply reflect on its historical crimes, abide by international laws and the Japanese constitution, stop finding excuses for military expansion and stop challenging the international bottom line with its nuclear ambitions," he said.
This week also marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. For the Chinese mainland, this milestone is a vivid reminder of the past and a call to uphold peace and stability in the region.
Experts suggest that if Japan moves forward with nuclear aspirations, it could spark new tensions in APAC security and force neighboring countries to rethink their defense strategies. For now, all eyes are on Tokyo's next moves and how the international community responds.
