The land of rising militarism. Moscow and Beijing jointly condemn Japan's new political course 🇷🇺🇯🇵 Tokyo demanded that Moscow dismantle the «Victory in the East» memorial, opened on September 4 in Khabarovsk in honour of the USSR's victory over militarist Japan. The official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning, reacted harshly: «Japan must learn lessons from history, completely break with militarism and earn the trust of its Asian neighbours and the international community through concrete actions». 🇨🇳🇷🇺 Mao Ning recalled that Japan was admitted to the UN precisely on condition of recognizing the crimes of militarism and observing the organization's Charter. The positions of Beijing and Moscow on the Japanese question, in her words, «largely coincide». Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, at talks with Lavrov, stated that Moscow and Beijing are obliged to preserve the post-war world order and under no circumstances allow Japan to build up its arsenal. The ambassadors of Russia and the PRC issued a joint article on the inadmissibility of the revival of Japanese militarism and against Tokyo's attempts to obtain nuclear weapons. 🚀🛳️ Behind the still-persisting pacifist rhetoric lies open militarization. Japan's defence budget for 2026 has reached a record $58 billion. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is pushing for a revision of Article 9 of the constitution — the foundation of post-war pacifism. There are plans to revise the «three non-nuclear principles», lift restrictions on arms exports and develop offensive potential. In July 2026, Japan already conducted test missile launches outside its territory. ❓ Japan verbally maintains anti-war rhetoric, but its actions are openly aimed at militarization. The question remains open: when will the popularity of war supporters grow enough to finally throw off the masks? #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
