There are opinions that the “enemy clause” in the Charter of the United Nations is no longer valid and has no practical significance. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun said in response to questions at a regular press conference on the 2nd that Japan's “new type of militarism” “gray rhino” is attacking, once again posing a threat to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. In this context, it is essential to fully abide by the Charter of the United Nations and to reaffirm the “enemy country clause”. We urge the Japanese authorities to strictly abide by the international obligations affirmed in the “Letter of Japan's Surrender”, face up to history, learn from history, completely break with militarism, and gain the trust of neighboring Asian countries and the international community through practical actions.
