CGTN

The recent remarks on possessing nuclear weapons by a senior Japanese official are by no means an isolated incident, exposing the consistent erroneous stance of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Japan's right-wing forces, and sending an extremely dangerous signal, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Wednesday.

Lin Jian made the remarks at a regular news briefing in response to a query about a senior official from the Japanese prime minister's office brazenly claiming that Japan should possess nuclear weapons.
