The international community should stay on high alert to prevent and suppress the rise of Japanese neo-militarism, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday.

Spokesperson Lin Jian made the statement at a daily press briefing, after Japanese Minister of Defense recently rejected Japan being labelled a "neo-militarist" country at the 23rd Shangri-La Dialogue 2026 in Singapore.

Lin said relevant remarks from the Japanese official were totally groundless, given historical facts, legal grounds and figures on the matter, adding that such a stance makes it impossible for Japan to earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community.
