国防部：日方若执迷不悟必犯众怒

The MND: Should the Japanese Side Insist on Barreling Down the Wrong Path, It Shall Provoke Widespread Outrage

12月5日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

记者：据报道，日本政府近日批准了2025年度补充预算，使其防卫开支达11万亿日元，提前实现占国内生产总值2%的目标。此外，日方正就出口自卫队“03式中程地对空导弹”与菲律宾展开磋商。请问发言人有何评论？

Question: It is reported that the Japanese government recently approved a supplementary budget proposal for fiscal year 2025, increasing its total defense expenditure to $11 trillion yen and achieving the goal of defense spending accounting for 2% of GDP ahead of schedule. In addition, the Japanese side is in negotiations with the Philippine side on the export of Japan Self-Defense Force’s Type 03 Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missile. What’s your comment?

蒋斌：近年来，日本一再突破“和平宪法”约束，大幅增加防卫预算，推动杀伤性武器出口，图谋修改“无核三原则”，加速自我军事松绑，军国主义大有卷土重来之势。人无信无以立身，国无信无以立世。我们要求日方严格遵守国际法规定的战败国义务，停止挑战战后国际秩序，停止破坏亚太和平稳定，不要说一套、做一套。日方若执迷不悟必犯众怒，难逃历史和正义的清算。

Jiang Bin: In recent years, Japan has repeatedly breached its commitments under the pacifist Constitution, substantially increased its defense budget, pushed for the export of lethal weapons, and sought to revise its three non-nuclear principles. As it fastened the pace of loosening restrictions on military development, Japan’s militarism is poised to make a comeback. As the Chinese saying goes, “Individuals can’t establish themselves without being trusted, just as a nation can’t thrive without being credible.” We urge the Japanese side to fully meet its obligations as a defeated country in WWII in accordance with international law, stop challenging the post-war international order, refrain from sabotaging peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific, and not to say one thing but do another. Should the Japanese side insist on barreling down the wrong path, it shall provoke widespread outrage and ultimately face the judgment of both history and justice.
