林剑中方注意到有关报道，对此表示严重关切。由于近代日本军国主义的侵略历史，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。近年来，日方大幅调整安保政策，逐年增加防卫预算，不断放宽武器出口限制，谋求突破性军力发展，引发周边国家和国际社会的强烈担忧。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，坚持走和平发展道路，以实际行动取信于亚洲邻国和国际社会。

Lin Jian China noted relevant reports and expresses grave concern over the decision. Given Japan’s not-too-distant history of militarist aggression, Japan’s military and security moves are closely watched by its Asian neighbors and the international community. In recent years, Japan has been drastically readjusting its security policy, increasing defense spending year after year, relaxing restrictions on arms export and seeking military breakthroughs. These moves trigger serious concerns among Japan’s neighboring countries and the international community. We urge Japan to earnestly respect the security concerns of neighboring countries, deeply reflect on its history of aggression, commit itself to the path of peaceful development and earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community through concrete actions.
