Our first story.
China has called on the international community to remain highly vigilant against Japan's nuclear ambitions.
Chinese Representative Shen Jian made the remarks
at the ongoing Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in New York.
In recent years, Japan has made a series of negative comments and taken questionable actions
regarding the possession of nuclear weapons.
It has pushed to amend its pacifist constitution, challenged the three non-nuclear principles,
expanded its long-range strike capabilities,
and sought the deployment of nuclear weapons on its soil from its so-called allies.
The international community must remain highly vigilant,
strengthen monitoring and verification, take seriously of the severe imbalance between Japan's sensitive
nuclear material production capacity and its actual consumption.
And resolutely curb any attempts by the country to possess nuclear weapons.
