BEIJING – Under the guise of strengthening a passive defense posture, Japan's right-wing forces are shifting the country's security policy toward an offensive and expansionary direction, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.
Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a regular media briefing when asked to comment on Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party's adoption of a draft proposal on revising the country's three key security documents.
Japan's right-wing forces seek to chip away at the constraints imposed by Japan's Constitution, international law and domestic legislation, renounce their obligations under international law, and challenge the post-war international order, Lin said.

This trajectory is increasingly evident and highly dangerous, and the international community must remain vigilant and take precautions, he said.
