Bloomberg Reporter: Japan is building military facilities on its Pacific islands, including the deployment of anti-ship missiles on Minami Torishima. The Japanese side said it was in response to increasingly frequent military actions between China and Russia. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Lin Jian: The above actions by the Japanese side are yet another proof of the acceleration of “re-militarization.” During World War II, Japan wantonly invaded and expanded, and committed heinous crimes, bringing profound disasters to neighboring Asian countries and the world. To this day, Japan has not only refused to reflect on history, but has also repeated old tricks, continuously concocting false narratives such as threats from neighboring countries to cover up continued attempts to strengthen its military and expand its armed forces. Facts have proved that Japan's “re-militarization” has become a real threat to regional peace and stability, and the international community must be on high alert. The Chinese side urges Japan to stop fabricating rumors and discrediting, reflect on itself, carefully learn the lessons of history, and not go further and further along the wrong path.
