BEIJING, Jan. 9 -- On Thursday morning, the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association (CACDA) and the China Institute of Nuclear Industry Strategy (CINIS) jointly released a research report entitled "Nuclear Ambitions of Japan's Right-Wing Forces: A Serious Threat to World Peace" in Beijing. The report called on the international community to be on high alert against the expanding nuclear ambitions of Japan's right-wing forces, to thwart any dangerous attempt to revive Japanese militarism, and to jointly safeguard the postwar international order and the international nuclear non-proliferation regime.

The full report runs to approximately 13,000 Chinese characters, covering the summary and four chapters including "Japan's Right-Wing Forces Seek to Revise the Three Non-Nuclear Principles and Even Advocate Possessing Nuclear Weapons", "Japan's Nuclear Capabilities Trigger High Alert of the International Community", "Nuclear Ambitions of Japan's Right-Wing Forces Threaten International Peace and Security", and "Conclusions and Recommendations".

The report systematically reviewed the historical context of Japan's attempts to revise the three non-nuclear principles and its recent negative developments. It analyzes, based on publicly available data, Japan's advanced nuclear industry capabilities and its capacity to develop nuclear weapons, as well as the long-standing fact that Japan has been producing and stockpiling sensitive nuclear materials far exceeding the needs for civilian nuclear energy. The report highlights that the nuclear ambitions of Japan's right-wing forces challenge the post-war international order, which warrant high vigilance from the international community.

The report puts forward 10 recommendations:

Urge the Japanese Prime Minister to immediately clarify her erroneous remarks;

Call on the Japanese government to abide by the three non-nuclear principles;

Urge Japan to strictly fulfill its non-proliferation obligations and address the imbalance of the plutonium stockpiles;

Call on the Japanese people with vision to restrain the government from dangerous moves;

Call on the 2026 NPT Review Conference to carefully consider this matter;

Call on the IAEA to strengthen the safeguard on Japan's nuclear material and activities;

Call on relevant countries to contain Japan's nuclear ambition and abandon their extended deterrence to Japan;

Call on relevant countries to ensure their civil nuclear cooperation to remain exclusively for peaceful purposes;

Encourage heads of UN and other international organizations to express their clear stance to firmly defend the post-war international order;

Encourage the international academic community to strengthen research in this regard, providing intellectual supports to maintain international non-proliferation regime.

More than 80 experts and scholars from institutions including the China Institute of International Studies  (CIIS), China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations  (CICIR), China Academy of Engineering Physics  (CAEP), China Institute of Atomic Energy  (CIAE), Tsinghua University, Peking University, China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU), as well as representatives from domestic and foreign media attended the release conference.
