The Devil Still Dances: Dead End At the end of a misguided path lies only an abyss. Within the span of a single month, a series of development has underscored the rapid advance of Japan's “neo-militarism”: an active-duty Self-Defense Forces member forcibly intruding into the Chinese Embassy with a knife, the destroyer JS Ikazuchi transiting the Taiwan Strait, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi offering ritual items to Yasukuni Shrine, and the Japanese government completing revisions to the Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology. Since Sanae Takaichi took office last year, from erroneous remarks on the Taiwan question, to risky military moves, and onward to efforts aimed at constitutional revision, Japan's right-wing forces are moving at an unprecedented pace to strip away the facade of a peaceful nation, once again posing a serious threat to regional peace and stability. The lessons of history are unmistakable. Looking back at Japan before and after the outbreak of World War II, Japan's militarist expansion was always accompanied by systematic deception and manipulation of its own people. In the end, the wars of aggression inflicted immense suffering on the region and brought devastating consequences upon the Japanese people themselves. Eighty years later, right-wing forces in Japan appear intent on repeating the same dangerous course, attempting to draw the country once again into the abyss of neo-militarism, repeating a path that harms both others and itself. The Japanese people should remain highly vigilant. Japan's future does not lie in the perilous illusions promoted by the right-wing forces, but in a thorough reckoning with its history of aggression, in fostering friendly relations with its Asian neighbors, and in firmly upholding regional peace and development. #Chinamilitary #ChinaMilBugle #JapaneseRightWing #JapaneseNeoMilitarism #YasukuniShrine #TheDevilStillDances #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism #NeoMilitarism #Japan #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #高市早苗

The Yasukuni Shrine is, in fact, a shrine for war criminals, as it honors convicted Class-A war criminals responsible for the war of aggression in WWII. Japanese political figures’ visits and offerings to the war shrine are blatant provocations against international justice and a serious affront to human conscience. China, like many countries in Asia and beyond, is outraged and strongly condemns them. #YasukuniShrine #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism #NeoMilitarism #Japan #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #ChinaMilitary #ChinaMilBugle

On the day marking Japan's unconditional surrender in the Second World War, Sanae Takaichi made a monetary offering to the Yasukuni war shrine, while Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi and other senior officials and political figures visited the shrine, openly challenging the bottom line of peace and turning back the wheel of history. History must not be forgotten, and militarism must never be allowed to rise again. If Japan insists on going down the old path of militarism, it will only be consigned to the ashes of history once again. #TiantanView #Japan #NeoMilitarism

Chinese Foreign Ministry: While paying lip service to peace and defense, Japan is actually speeding down the path of remilitarization by ramping up military expenditure, easing the export of lethal weapons, advancing the deployment of intermediate and long-range missiles, developing offensive military capability, hoarding sensitive nuclear materials, promoting the revision of its pacifist constitution, and even advocating that Japan should become a war-capable nation. In fact, Japan has torn off the mask of a pacifist country all by itself. The international community must stay on high alert and should never allow Japanese militarism to return and menace the world again.

57.2% vs 37.1%: Over half of Japanese oppose lifting ban on lethal weapons exports, polls suggest More than half of respondents in recent Japanese opinion polls opposed the government's decision to lift restrictions on exports of lethal weapons. A poll released by Kyodo News on May 18 showed that 57.2% of respondents rejected allowing exports of lethal weapons, while 37.1% were in favor. Another poll conducted by public broadcaster NHK from May 8 to 10 found that 52% of respondents opposed the government's move to open the door to lethal arms exports, while 35% expressed support. On April 21, the Japanese government, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, officially revised the "three principles on transfer of defense equipment and technology" and their implementation guidelines, scrapping the restrictions that had limited Japan's defense equipment exports to five noncombat categories, and allowing, in principle, overseas sales of weapons, including those with lethal capabilities. The revision has drawn strong concern and protest in Japan. #TakaichiSanae #AsiaPacific #SecurityPolicy #ThreePrinciples #ArmsExports #KyodoNews #YasukuniShrine #NHK #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism #PeacefulCountry #Constitution #NeoMilitarism #Japan #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #高市早苗

Sanae Takaichi said, "Japan is back." "Back" means returning from the past. A Japan that returns from the past is a very dangerous Japan. The rhetoric and actions of Japan's right-wing forces only serve to confirm that militarism is rising from the ashes once again. If Japan wants to pursue "Japan is back" and return to the prewar militarist and fascist Japan, Japan would be walking down a dead-end road, experts say at GT Global Minds Roundtable.

The Devil Still Dances: High Alert against Japan's Political and Diplomatic Moves that Pave the Way for 'Neo-Militarism' Kodai Murata, a second lieutenant in Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF), illegally broke into the Chinese embassy in Japan with a knife on March 24, 2026. Instead of reflecting on the SDF's mismanagement and loss of control, Japan continues to focus on fomenting external threats and accelerating military buildup. It's no accident. Sanae Takaichi's distorted view of history and far-right stance on Taiwan question, along with the right-wing forces' efforts to hollow out the pacifist Constitution, brainwash the younger generation, and undermine the post-war order, all point to one conclusion: far-right ideologies are fueling the steady rise of "neo-militarism" in Japan's political and diplomatic landscape. This trend is now seeping into Japanese society, breeding extremist behavior. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the work of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, commonly known as the Tokyo Trials. Mei Ru'ao, the Chinese judge at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, once said: "Forgetting the sufferings of the past may cause a calamity in the future." Eight decades later, this warning remains as relevant as ever. Only by safeguarding historical truth and upholding human conscience and justice with a common resolve can we eliminate the specter of militarism, and prevent human civilization from suffering once again from the tragedy of war. #SanaeTakaichi #PacifistConstitution #JSDF #ShinzoAbe #KodaiMurata #Hiroshima #Nagasaki #rightwing #LDP #DiaoyuIsland #militarism #ChinaMilitary #ChinaMilBugle

China urges Japanese authorities to make clean break with militarism to win trust Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun on Wednesday urged Japanese authorities to earnestly abide by the international obligations confirmed in the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, face up to history, make a clean break with militarism, and win the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community through concrete actions. Guo made the remarks at a regular media briefing when answering a question about China's position on the "Enemy State Clauses" in the UN Charter. On Sept. 2, 1945, the Japanese government formally signed the Instrument of Surrender and accepted all the provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation, confirming the nature of the war of aggression launched by Japanese militarism, he said. "This historical conclusion must not be tampered with, still less should the post-war international order be challenged," Guo said, adding that the "Enemy State Clauses" remain in the UN Charter to this day, and the relevant provisions, including Articles 53, 77 and 107, remain valid as well. Guo said these clauses constitute special institutional arrangements concerning the defeated countries of World War II, aim at preventing them from once again posing a threat to international peace and security, and provide important institutional safeguards for upholding the post-war international order. "Japan joined the UN on the premise that it acknowledged the crimes of militarism and accepted the UN Charter in its entirety," he added. Guo said that the Japanese authorities not only avoid addressing their historical responsibilities, but also pay homage to Class-A war criminals of World War II, distort and whitewash the crimes of aggression, accelerate remilitarization, seek to revise the pacifist Constitution, antagonize almost all of their neighboring countries, openly interfere in other countries' internal affairs, and even issue threats of force. "The 'gray rhino' of Japan's 'new militarism' is charging toward us, once again posing a threat to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific. It is highly necessary to fully abide by the UN Charter and reaffirm the 'Enemy State Clauses,'" said Guo. #Hiroshima #Nagasaki #hibakusha #DefenseofJapan2026 #DefenseWhitePaper #ThreeNonNuclearPrinciples #WarState #Japan #JapanSelfDefenseForces #JSDF #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism #NeoMilitarism #Japan #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi

Chinese Foreign Ministry: Japan bears grave historical responsibilities for Southeast Asian countries including the Philippines due to its aggression and colonial rule. In this special year which marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Tokyo trials, the once aggressor has failed to deeply reflect on its historical crimes. Instead, it has sent military forces overseas and fired offensive missiles under the pretext of security cooperation. This move once again proves that Japanese right-wing forces are pushing for accelerated remilitarization of Japan. They have repeatedly breached Japan’s exclusively defense-oriented policy and relevant rules in international and domestic laws. Some of their policies and moves have gone far beyond the scope of self-defense. The series of lack of education on true history, the fundamentally wrong historical views and the strategic attempts for military rearmament have led to the malevolent emergence of neo-militarism in Japan and threatened regional peace and stability. We urge the Japanese side to deeply reflect on its history of militarist aggression and honor its commitments and stay prudent in military and security areas.

China's Foreign Ministry on Japan relaxing the restrictions on defense equipment exports: China is gravely concerned over this. Several instruments explicitly stipulated that Japan should be completely disarmed and shall not maintain industries that would enable its rearmament. The Japanese Constitution also imposes strict restrictions on the country's military strength, the right of belligerency, and the right to wage wars. Japan's recent dangerous moves in military and security fields have debunked its self-proclaimed labels as a peaceful nation and adherence to the exclusively defense-oriented principle. Many experts worry that Japan is restarting its war machine. Japan's accelerated remilitarization is a fact and reality supported by concrete plans and actions. The international community, including China, will remain highly vigilant and firmly resist Japan's reckless moves towards new militarism.

In response to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks that India and Japan will strengthen cooperation in the area of critical minerals, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday that such cooperation should not target any third party or undermine its interests. "Still less should such cooperation be used to create exclusive 'small blocs' or stoke confrontation under the pretext of cooperation," Guo said at a daily press briefing. He said cooperation between countries should help enhance understanding and trust among regional nations and safeguard regional peace and stability. Maintaining the stability and security of global industrial and supply chains is a shared responsibility of all countries, he noted, adding that all parties should embrace an open and cooperative mindset and play a constructive role to this end. #Japan #India #Narendra #Modi #NarendraModi #JapaneseMilitarism #NeoMilitarism #IndiaJapan #PMModi #JapanPM #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #高市早苗

Review some highlights of China’s V-Day military parade on Sept. 3, 2025. China will never allow right-wing forces in Japan to turn back the wheel of history, never allow external forces to lay hands on China’s Taiwan region, and never allow resurgence of Japanese militarism. The V-Day military parade was held to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The grand parade is a symbolic reminder of the resilience and fighting spirit of the Chinese people, and is China’s resolute promise that it will never allow those tragedies to happen again. #JapaneseMilitarism #高市早苗 #Japan #TakaichiSanae #SanaeTakaichi #VDayParade #Militaryparade #Taiwan #TaiwanStrait

China's Ambassador to the United Nations #FuCong urged Japan's prime minister to retract her comments about #Taiwan being a potential military contingency for #Japan, and "refrain from continuing down the wrong path." "At a time when the international community is jointly reflecting on history and planning for the future, it is outrageous that Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has gone against the trend by claiming that the so-called survival-threatening situation for Japan is linked to Taiwan of China, and by implying and threatening that Japan would militarily intervene in the Taiwan question," said Fu at the UN Security Council on December 15, 2025. Last month, #Takaichi told the Japanese parliament that a "Taiwan contingency" could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan, and could prompt military action. She became the first postwar Japanese prime minister to issue a clear threat of force to China. Her comments received immediate pushback and concern from Beijing and the international community. "The lessons of World War II are still fresh," Fu said. "Over the past 80 years, generation after generation has been working tirelessly for peace and speaking out for justice. As we stand at the starting point of the next 80 years, confronted with a world marked by transformation and turbulence, the questions before us are clear: Where is the world headed? Where is peace to be found?" Fu said. "We must uphold fairness and justice and lay a solid foundation for lasting peace. Militarism and fascism once brought unprecedented catastrophes to humanity. Any erroneous remarks and acts to whitewash or overturn the history of aggression challenge the bottom line of human conscience and undermine the hard-won peace," Fu said. "We must uphold a correct view of the history of World War II, safeguard the victorious outcomes of World War II, and defend the post-war international order. We must adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, uphold the sovereign equality of all states, large and small, oppose unilateralism, hegemonism and power politics, advance the democratization of international relations, and enhance the representation and voice of developing countries in international affairs," Fu said. Fu's comments came during an open debate in the Security Council on Leadership for Peace, during which former UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon pressed members to confront both the external crises facing the UN and internal constraints that have weakened its ability to act. Also on December 15, China announced countermeasures against a former senior official of Japan's Self-Defense Forces for colluding with "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and stressed that the Taiwan question is the red line that must not be crossed. According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the sanctions, which took effect immediately, include freezing movable and immovable properties and all other types of assets in China belonging to Shigeru #Iwasaki, former chief of the Joint Staff of Japan's Self-Defense Forces. #高市早苗 #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #SanaeTakaichi #ShigeruIwasaki #IwasakiShigeru #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism

“If Japan gambles again, it will only face a swifter defeat and a more disastrous loss,” warned China's foreign minister Wang Yi on February 14, 2026. Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and China's foreign minister, attended the #Munich Security Conference on Saturday, where he delivered a speech at the "China in the World" session and answered questions from the audience. When asked about China's responsibility regarding the resurgence of tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, Wang expressed his disagreement with the notion that regional tensions are escalating. Looking around the world, he noted that Asia remains the only region maintaining overall peace. Even the recent conflict on the Cambodia-Thailand border was swiftly resolved through the efforts of all parties, with China playing its part. China has become the mainstay of peace in Asia, Wang said. As a significant force for peace in the modern world, China will continue to play a constructive role in regional peace and stability, he added. Wang said that Asia is not without its challenges, and vigilance is required regarding recent dangerous trends in #Japan. Japan's sitting prime minister has gone so far as to publicly claim that a contingency in the #Taiwan Strait would constitute a "situation of existential crisis," allowing Japan to exercise the right of collective self-defense. This marks the first time in the 80 years since World War Two that a Japanese prime minister has publicly made such a reckless statement, directly challenging China's national sovereignty, the post-war international order in which Taiwan has been returned to China and the political commitments Japan made to China. China certainly cannot accept this – nor will the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Wang said. Since the meeting was being held in #Germany, Wang said, a comparison could be drawn between the post-war settlements of Japan and Europe. After the war, Germany conducted a thorough liquidation of #fascism and enacted laws prohibiting the promotion of #Nazism. In contrast, Japan continues to honor Class-A war criminals in its shrine, with Japanese politicians making frequent visits to pay homage to them as so-called "heroic souls." Such a phenomenon is unimaginable in Europe, and this is the root cause of all these issues. Wang emphasized that the Japanese leader's erroneous remarks on the Taiwan question expose Japan's lingering ambitions to invade and colonize Taiwan, as well as the unyielding spirit of reviving militarism. Japan previously used the so-called "situation of existential crisis" as a pretext to launch its invasion of China and the attack on #PearlHarbor in the #US. The lessons of history are not far off – and they must be heeded. If Japan refuses to repent, Wang said, it is bound to repeat its past mistakes, and peace-loving people must be on guard. The Japanese people must be reminded not to be blinded or coerced again by far-right forces and extremist ideologies, he added. All peace-loving countries must also issue a warning to Japan: if it seeks to turn back the clock of history, it will lead to self-destruction, Wang said. If Japan gambles again, it will only face a swifter defeat and a more disastrous loss, he warned. #高市早苗 #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism

“If Japan gambles again, it will only face a swifter defeat and a more disastrous loss,” warned China's foreign minister Wang Yi on February 14, 2026. Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and China's foreign minister, attended the #Munich Security Conference on Saturday, where he delivered a speech at the "China in the World" session and answered questions from the audience. When asked about China's responsibility regarding the resurgence of tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, Wang expressed his disagreement with the notion that regional tensions are escalating. Looking around the world, he noted that Asia remains the only region maintaining overall peace. Even the recent conflict on the Cambodia-Thailand border was swiftly resolved through the efforts of all parties, with China playing its part. China has become the mainstay of peace in Asia, Wang said. As a significant force for peace in the modern world, China will continue to play a constructive role in regional peace and stability, he added. Wang said that Asia is not without its challenges, and vigilance is required regarding recent dangerous trends in #Japan. Japan's sitting prime minister has gone so far as to publicly claim that a contingency in the #Taiwan Strait would constitute a "situation of existential crisis," allowing Japan to exercise the right of collective self-defense.

🇨🇳🇯🇵 China just asked Japan a question that should echo across East Asia. Is the Japanese side trying to repeat history and once again become the source of disaster in the region. China warned that Japan is barreling headlong down the path of remilitarization. It described recent moves as risky and provocative. Some Japanese politicians, it said, are using rhetoric tantamount to war mobilization. Language that echoes the militarist past. China called on all peace loving countries to remain highly vigilant and firmly resist Japan's reckless moves of neo militarism. This is not a diplomatic squabble. This is a warning. Takaichi is pushing Japan toward a future it's own constitution was designed to prevent it. China is watching. The region is watching. History is watching. Japan should answer the question honestly. Not for China. For itself. For the people who remember what happened the last time Japan became a source of disaster.

Around 25,000 protestors rallied in Tokyo's Shibuya Scramble Crossing on Sunday, opposing remilitarization and Japan’s push to revise Article 9, the pacifist clause of its Constitution. The protestors are in addition calling for the resignation of far-right Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who ignited a diplomatic firestorm in November when she pledged she would deploy Japanese troops in the event of a military crisis in the Taiwan Strait. Japan's military budget for 2025 reached a record-breaking 9 trillion yen (approx. $58 billion), and in a major shift from its post-WWII pacifist policy, the country lifted its ban on lethal export weapons earlier this year and is also actively participating in US-led war exercises across the region. And on Friday, Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi has urged a “debate” on the acquisition of nuclear weapons stating that the issue is one Japan “cannot avoid touching.” Critics assert that the government is dragging the country into the US-led war on China. Takaichi’s approval rating has fallen below 50 percent as of July 17, according to recent polls.

Chinese warships exercise freedom of navigation – what business is it of Japan’s? On Monday, Japan's Ministry of Defense claimed to have confirmed that three Chinese naval vessels entered the Pacific Ocean from Okinawa after completing a joint patrol with Russia, before passing through the Soya Strait, also known as the La Perouse Strait, into the Sea of Japan - effectively "sailing nearly all the way around the Japanese archipelago." The press release made a point of noting that one of the Chinese guided-missile destroyers had conducted firing exercises in "Japan's exclusive economic zone" near Okinotori. The tone suggested that a routine presence of Chinese warships in nearby international waters was somehow a monumental affair. Hyping up a "military threat" is an old tune that the Sanae Takaichi administration has played to death. In its latest Defense White Paper, Japan's Ministry of Defense has framed China as an "unprecedented and greatest strategic challenge." However, repeating tough rhetoric frightens no one; it merely lays bare Tokyo's own insecurities and double standards. Chinese warships are exercising freedom of navigation - what business is it of Japan's? The high seas are not anyone's private backyard, nor are they Japan's moat. The Soya Strait through which the Chinese warships navigated is an international one subject to the right of transit passage under international law. Besides, the remainder of their voyage took place predominantly on the high seas, where freedom of navigation is fully enjoyed. When the Chinese Navy conducts lawful, routine patrols and training in international waters, it requires neither prior consultation with nor authorization from anyone. Japan is stoking fears of a "China threat." Setting aside the fact that this is a blatant lie, is Japan even in a position to lecture others on "threat"? As a defeated power in World War II, Japan's territorial scope and post-war legal obligations are clearly defined by foundational international legal documents, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation. Not only should Japan's military capabilities be strictly circumscribed by its pacifist constitution, but post-war arrangements also expressly forbid it from possessing offensive forces. In recent years, however, some Japanese right-wing forces have played the victim while steadily testing the waters on rearmament and constitutional revision - drastically hiking defense budgets, pursuing collective self-defense, lifting weapon export bans, and forcefully pushing the Self-Defense Forces toward becoming a "normal military." The real danger demanding vigilance is not the normal navigation of Chinese warships on the high seas, but the momentum behind a resurgence of Japanese militarism and the persistent refusal of Japan's right-wing government to thoroughly reflect on the country's history of aggression. The Chinese Navy's "circuit patrols around Japan" show how Chinese military capability is the anchor for regional peace and stability. China upholds the freedom of navigation established by international law and defends the sanctity of the post-war international order. The operations of Chinese warships on the high seas require no one's "permission" and tolerate no interference. So what if they "sail around Japan" once - or twice? #Okinawa #SoyaStrait #SeaofJapan #JSDF #JMSDF #海上自衛隊 #NotNavy #FreedomOfNavigation #PacificOcean #InternationalLaw #ChinaThreat #DoubleStandards #Okinotori #EEZ #PLA #Navy #ChinaMilitary #ChinaMilBugle

🇨🇳 China’s defense budget is around 1.5% of GDP, far below the 2% benchmark used by the US and NATO. 🇯🇵 Japan’s defense budget is 2% of GDP, and its per capita defense spending is more than three times China’s. But this statement matters for a reason beyond the numbers. China is no longer framing Japan’s military expansion merely as a matter of “regional tension.” It is increasingly tying it to unsettled historical guilt, accelerating remilitarization, and the danger of returning to the road of militarism. From Wang Yi to the PLA, this language is no longer just public anger. It is becoming an official strategic warning. Once “crimes of aggression not yet reckoned with” enters official rhetoric, the message is unmistakable: China will not allow fascist Japan a second historical chance.

Will Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi visit the notorious Yasukuni Shrine? If she does, Japan will bear the consequences. Let's be clear: the Yasukuni Shrine is not an ordinary religious site. It is a political symbol of Japan's past brutal militarism. Fourteen convicted Class-A war criminals from WWII are enshrined there, including Hideki Tojo, a key architect of Japan's wartime aggression across Asia, and Iwane Matsui, responsible for the killing of 300,000 civilians during the Nanjing Massacre. A Yasukuni Shrine visit would trigger strong backlash from the international community and further expose Japan's drift toward historical revisionism. This year marks the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The world will not accept a return to Japanese militarism. If Takaichi chooses to go to the Yasukuni Shrine, the consequences will not be hers alone — they will be borne by Japan as a whole. #MediaUnlocked
