A Japanese minister denies militarism, per se? That sounds wrong.
First sentence of the article:
Japan’s defence minister has rebutted Beijing’s claim that his country is engaging in a “new militarism” - criticising China for its military expansion and lack of transparency.
That makes more sense.
Personally, I don’t buy into any “China’s peaceful imperialism” narrative. Sure, they’re better than the US and Russia, but that’s a pretty low bar.
Not sure I like the current Japanese regime either though.
No country with such a big arsernal can control the temptation of actually using it. We’ve seen it time and again it’s basically everywhere in the history. This ain’t Wakanda, they’re actively building and gaining territory in South China Sea. Even orange cat don’t buy the story of them being peaceful.
