Any Japanese tactic of exaggerating the so-called "China threat" and seeking excuses for military expansion cannot deceive the world. In order for Japan to become a normal country, what it should truly do is to face up to and reflect on its history of aggression, and to win the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community with a responsible attitude and practical actions. The Japanese government recently released the 2023 version of the Defense White Paper, claiming to seek "fundamental enhancement of its defense capabilities," and plans to increase defense spending to 43.5 trillion yen in the next five years. The Japanese side still disregards basic facts and positions China as the "greatest strategic challenge ever", exaggerating the so-called "China threat", rudely interfering in China's internal affairs, smearing China's defense policy, normal military development, and legitimate military activities. This approach clearly indicates that Japan is attempting to portray the so-called "China threat"
