China warns about Japan’s dangerous nuclear ambitions
..Be wary of Japan’s nuclear ambitions
(People’s Daily Online) 10:……55, March
24, 2014 It is indisputable that Japan holds a large amount of
weapons-grade nuclear materials; thisshould be a matter of concern to
the international community.
Yun Byung-se, Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Korea, emphasized that
if a countyholds or produces more nuclear materials than it
actually needs there is always a risk thatit will become a threat
to itself and to other countries. Meanwhile John Kerry,
U.S.Secretary of State, also said that preventing Japan from
developing nuclear weapons is oneof the key points of American
diplomacy.
Facing such pressure from the international community, Japan
has participated ininternational nuclear affairs in apparent
good faith. But according to a report from KyodoNews Agency,
the draft of the statement which will be released after the
non proliferationand disarmament initiative meeting in Hiroshima
next month may demand that China and some other countries join in
the arms control negotiations between the US and Russia.
China strictly abides by its commitment to no first use of
nuclear weapons at any time andin any circumstances, and commits
not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against nuclear weapon-free countries and in nuclear weapon-free zones.
..
Japan has always assumed an ambiguous attitude towards nuclear
weapons issues. Asearly as 1957, the then Japanese premier
Nobusuke Kishi asserted that Japan would not
exclude the possibility of owning nuclear weapons for self-defense purposes. And whenKishi’s brother Satō Eisaku was
elected Japanese premier, though he announced the ThreeNon-Nuclear Principles, in private he claimed that these principles
were simply “windowressing”. For decades, Japan has purpose ly maintained itself
“a screwdriver’s distance”from making nuclear warheads.What is
the purpose of Japan’s large stocks of weapon-grade nuclear materials? Japanmust come clean, and remove any
doubts of the part of the international community bypractical
actions.
