China's Foreign Ministry on Japan's nuclear policy:

Since Takaichi took office, Japanese right-wing forces have laid bare their intention to revive militarism, break free from the Three Non-Nuclear Principles, seek nuclear weapons, and continue down the wrong path.

If Japan pushes to revise the Three Non-Nuclear Principles and introduces allied nuclear weapons, it will undermine the post-war international order, violate its commitment to peace, and ultimately pay a heavy price.
