國防部評日本新版《防衛白皮書》草案

MND Comments on the Draft of Japan's New Defense White Paper

5月29日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞發言人張曉剛大校答記者問。

記者：據報道，日本防衛省2025年版《防衛白皮書》草案內容日前曝光。草案稱，中國急速加強核、導彈、海上及航空能力，解放軍在臺灣周邊的軍事活動顯示中方正試圖提高實戰能力，中俄加強軍事合作，是日本安保方面的重大擔憂。請問對此有何評論？

Question: The draft of the Japanese defense ministry's Defense White Paper 2025 was revealed. The draft claims that China is ramping up its nuclear, missile, maritime and aviation capabilities; that PLA's activities near Taiwan demonstrate that Beijing is trying to improve its combat capabilities; and that strengthened China-Russia military cooperation is a serious concern for Japan's security. What's your comment on this?

張曉剛：日方《防衛白皮書》草案老調重彈，對中國軍力發展說三道四，對中國正當軍事活動和對外軍事合作指手畫腳，我們對此堅決反對。今年是中國人民抗日戰爭暨世界反法西斯戰爭勝利80周年，在這一特殊歷史節點，日本更應深刻反躬自省，而不是無端抹黑指責他人。我們敦促日方走和平發展道路，在軍事安全領域慎重行事，以實際行動取信亞洲鄰國和國際社會。

Zhang Xiaogang: In the draft of its Defense White Paper, the Japanese side repeats its irresponsible comments about China's military development, and points fingers at China's legitimate military activities and external military cooperation. We are strongly opposed to this. This year marks the 80th year of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. At this special historical juncture, it's even more important for Japan to reflect on its behaviors, instead of making unfounded smears and accusations against others. We urge the Japanese side to follow the path of peaceful development, act prudently in the domain of military and security, and earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the rest of the international community with concrete actions.
