总台央视记者据报道,日本防卫省28日发布了2023年度《防卫白皮书》,炒作中国军事威胁,对中国军力发展和海空军事活动表达关切,称将进一步提高防卫预算,强化防卫力量。白皮书还渲染台海紧张局势,称中国大陆与台湾之间的军事平衡迅速向对中国大陆有利的方向发展。中方对此有何评论?
CCTV According to reports, the Japanese defense ministry released its Defense of Japan 2023 white paper on July 28. The white paper hypes up China’s military threat, raises concern over China’s build-up of defense capabilities and maritime and naval military activities, and plans to further increase Japan’s defense budget to strengthen defense capabilities. The white paper also hypes up tensions across the Taiwan Strait and says that the military balance between China’s mainland and Taiwan is rapidly tilting in favor of the former. What’s your comment?
毛宁日本新版《防卫白皮书》粗暴干涉中国内政,肆意抹黑中方正常的国防发展建设和海空军事活动,刻意渲染所谓中国威胁,制造地区局势紧张。中方对此表示强烈不满和坚决反对,已向日方提出严正交涉。
Mao Ning The Defense of Japan 2023 white paper gravely interferes in China’s internal affairs, smears China’s normal defense development and maritime and naval military activities, deliberately hypes up the “China threat” narrative, and creates tensions in the region. We deplore and reject this and has made serious démarches to Japan. 
中国坚持走和平发展道路,奉行防御性国防政策。中国国防建设和军事活动正当合理,同有关国家开展联合巡航等军事合作符合国际法和国际惯例。台湾是中国领土,台湾问题纯属中国内政,不容任何外部势力干涉。两岸之间的所谓军事平衡完全是个伪命题。日本在台湾问题上对中国人民负有严重历史罪责,尤应谨言慎行、反躬自省。
China is committed to the path of peaceful development and a defense policy that is defensive in nature. China’s defense development and military activities are legitimate and justified. Our military cooperation with relevant countries including joint patrols is consistent with international law and customary international practice. Taiwan is China’s territory. The Taiwan question is purely China’s internal affair that brooks no external interference. The so-called “military balance” across the Taiwan Strait is a groundless subject to begin with. On the Taiwan question, Japan bears grave responsibilities for the historical crimes committed against the Chinese people and should act all the more prudently and draw lessons from the history.
我要强调,由于近代日本军国主义对外侵略历史,日本的军事安全动向一直备受亚洲邻国和国际社会高度关注。近年日方不断增加防卫预算,修改防卫政策,谋求突破性军力发展,已引发外界对其是否还坚持和平发展道路的强烈担忧。我们敦促日方切实尊重周边邻国的安全关切,深刻反省侵略历史,停止渲染周边安全威胁、为自身强军扩武寻找借口,以实际行动取信于亚洲邻国和国际社会。
I need to stress that given Japan’s history of militarist aggression during the last century, Japan’s military and security moves have been closely watched by its Asian neighbors and the international community. In recent years, Japan has been increasing defense spending, readjusting defense policy and seeking military breakthrough. It has triggered strong concerns over whether Japan will still stick to the path of peaceful development. We urge Japan to earnestly respect the security concerns of neighboring countries, deeply reflect on its history of aggression, stop hyping up so-called security threat in the region and finding pretexts for rearming itself, and earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the wider international community through concrete actions.
