China urges vigilance against Japan's remilitarization, revival of "war machine"-
BEIJING, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese defense ministry spokesperson on Friday urged the international community to remain on high alert over Japan's accelerating remilitarization, warning that Tokyo is attempting to revive its wartime military-industrial complex.
Chen Xi, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks in response to a query about reports that the Japanese government plans to list a "virtuous cycle between defense and the economy" as one of the key pillars in a planned revision of the country's three national security documents.
The move, analysts say, signals a major shift in Japan's postwar defense policy.
