Japan rejects accusations by Russia and China of becoming a military power again

 

Japan has rejected the accusations by China and Russia that it is becoming a "re-emerging superpower" as baseless.

According to media reports, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a joint statement that Japan is accelerating its military buildup and is posing a threat to regional peace and stability.

On the other hand, Japan's Deputy Chief Secretary Masano Ozaki said at a news conference that China should resolve issues related to its military activities and Russia should stop its invasion of Ukraine.

It should be noted that Japan's relations with China deteriorated last November when Prime Minister Sanai Takaichi said that Japan considers Taiwan a separate province and that China's use of force against Taiwan could pose a threat to Japan's survival, so the country can exercise its right to collective defense in this case.
