Beijing: China is deeply concerned over Japan's recent military and security moves, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Friday. Lin made the remarks at a regular news briefing when asked to comment on Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's statements at the parliament regarding Japan's principles of not possessing, producing, or introducing nuclear weapons into its territory.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Takaichi remained vague and ambiguous in her stance on the three non-nuclear principles, hinting at the possibility of abandoning them. Lin added that this fully exposes Japan's significant and negative policy shift and sends a dangerous signal to the international community.
