Japan's Defense Ministry delivered a launcher for the upgraded Type 12 surface-to-ship missile to Camp Kengun in Kumamoto City on March 9, 2026, and plans to deploy a batch of long-range, counter-strike missiles there by the end of March, 2026.

日本防卫省3月9日凌晨将陆基改进型12式反舰导弹的发射装置运抵熊本市的陆上自卫队健军驻屯地，并表示将于3月底在健军驻屯地正式部署。

Japan has in recent years drastically readjusted its security and defense policy, relaxed restrictions on arms export, sought to develop offensive weapons, and planned to abandon its three non-nuclear principles. Japan's right-wing provocateurs are trying every means to break free from the pacifist Constitution, going further down the path of military buildup.

近年来，日本大幅调整安保政策，谋求发展进攻性武器，放宽武器出口限制，图谋放弃“无核三原则”。日本右翼势力正极力突破“和平宪法”束缚，在穷兵黩武道路上越走越远。

Now, with the planned fielding of long-range offensive weapons whose range far exceeds its territorial boundaries, Japan has completely stripped away its pretense of "exclusively defense-oriented" principle, "passive defense" strategy and "self-defense" policy. This speaks volumes about the fact that neo-militarism in Japan has become more than just a perilous tendency, but a very real threat that may wreak havoc to the regional peace and security. The international community should remain highly vigilant in this regard.

如今，日本明确部署远程进攻性武器，射程远超其领土范围，彻底撕下“专守防卫”、“被动防御”和“自卫”的伪装，充分证明日本“新型军国主义”已不只是危险苗头，而是赤裸裸的现实威胁，是对地区和平安全的严重破坏。国际社会对此应保持高度警惕。

We warn the Japanese side that retreating to the old path of belligerent militarism leads nowhere but self-destruction. Should Japan dare to violate China's sovereignty and security by force, it will inevitably meet a head-on blow and suffer a greater defeat.

我们正告日方，穷兵黩武的老路是自取灭亡的不归路。若日方胆敢武力侵犯中方主权安全，必将遭受迎头痛击和更加彻底的失败。
