Beware! Japan is openly declaring its intention to possess nuclear weapons, and we must reveal this trump card!

Recently, Japan has been stirring again.

A senior official responsible for security policy has directly stated that Japan should possess nuclear weapons. This is not just casual talk; it is a test of the international community's response. Later, Defense Minister Kono Shin'ichi discussed the "three non-nuclear principles" and stated, "No options are excluded," which makes their intentions quite clear—they are paving the way for nuclear armament.

Now, the right-wing in Japan is becoming increasingly radical, and if the international community does not firmly resist, especially if the United States does not clearly oppose, this momentum towards nuclear armament is unlikely to be stopped.

Some may think that the United States will not agree, but let's not forget that the U.S. is currently focused on great power competition, wanting to use Japan as a pawn against China. Moreover, with the internal divisions within the U.S., the determination to oppose Japan's nuclear ambitions is not as strong as it could be.

Therefore, we cannot be complacent and must prepare for the worst-case scenario where Japan really does develop nuclear weapons. Once Japan dares to abandon the "three non-nuclear principles" and makes nuclear weapon development a national goal, we should consider adding an exception clause to the principle of "no first use of nuclear weapons." Simply put: countries that are nuclear-armed, have historically invaded China, and are currently adopting a hostile stance towards China are not subject to this principle.

Everyone knows that Japan has a history of sudden attacks. The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and various surprise attacks during the war of aggression against China are cautionary tales. Now that the extreme right is again hinting at nuclear armament, if we do not prepare in advance, we may suffer significant losses. Furthermore, it is evident that Japan's current considerations regarding nuclear armament are primarily aimed at China.

More critically, Japan is capable of producing nuclear weapons. Public data shows that Japan currently possesses enough plutonium to manufacture over a thousand nuclear warheads, and their nuclear technology and delivery systems are quite mature. If they make up their minds, they could produce operational nuclear weapons in a short period.

We must make the Japanese think clearly about the consequences in advance: once they truly possess nuclear weapons, as long as we confirm that they are preparing to launch a nuclear attack against China and the situation becomes urgent, we have the right to carry out a preemptive nuclear strike against them.

China's "no first use of nuclear weapons" is a commitment to peace, but this commitment cannot become a bargaining chip for others to threaten us. If Japan dares to breach the nuclear bottom line, we must use stronger means to protect national security; there is no ambiguity in this.

Clarifying the bottom line is to stop the war. Only by making certain people aware that playing with fire will lead to self-destruction can they calm down.
