rì běn日本tǎo lùn讨论hé wǔ qì核武器zhèng cè政策
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said that, under special circumstances, it could be discussed whether U.S. warships carrying nuclear weapons should be allowed to enter Japanese ports.
Japan has long upheld the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles”: not possessing nuclear weapons, not producing them, and not allowing them to enter Japan.
Takaichi also said that the government will continue to uphold this policy for now.
However, the security environment around Japan is changing, so the government needs to consider new approaches.
Some scholars believe that Japan should prepare emergency rules during peacetime, rather than changing them only after a war breaks out.
This could strengthen military cooperation between Japan and the United States, and also discourage other countries from taking military action easily.
The Chinese government opposes this view, saying that Japan should follow the international rules established after the war.
Recently, Japan has also increased defense spending, developed military equipment, and relaxed some rules on weapons exports.
