Conversely, in recent years, Japan has steadily departed from the constraints of its 'peace constitution' by substantially increasing defense spending and advocating for the development of so-called "counterstrike capabilities", he said, adding that it has aligned itself with certain major powers, forming targeted "small circles". Tan reiterated that China's military has always been a staunch force in maintaining world peace and stability, never challenging or threatening anyone. "We strongly oppose this and have already made serious representations to Japan," the spokesman noted. The Japanese defense white paper clings to the country's mistaken perception of China, deliberately exaggerates the so-called "Chinese military threat," smears China's legitimate military development and activities, rudely interferes in China's internal affairs and provokes regional tensions, said Tan Kefei, spokesman for the ministry. The white paper claimed that China has significantly increased defense spending, accelerated military development, unilaterally altered the status quo in the East China Sea and South China Sea, conducted joint operations with Russia near Japanese air and maritime areas, and posed a threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The Ministry of National Defense expressed strong opposition on Saturday to Japan's 2023 Defense White Paper, which labeled China as Japan's "unprecedented greatest strategic challenge".
