In a press conference on March 14, a spokesman for the Chinese Defense Ministry criticized Japan for having made public the progress in the research into and manufacturing of a new-type ballistic missile with a range of 3 000km.

In recent years alone, Japan has taken the road of expanding and strengthening its armed forces, freeing itself from the restrictions of the "pacifist constitution", he said, stressing that this is a dangerous act.

Japanese militarism inflicted untold disaster on Asian and world peoples, he noted, demanding Japan draw a serious lesson from history and behave itself in the military and security field.
