BEIJING, March 26 -- This incident is extremely egregious in its nature. It highlighted the grave reality that the rampant spread of far-right impact in Japan has deeply infiltrated into the JSDF, said a Chinese defense spokesperson on March 26, 2026.

Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense (MND), made the above remarks on Thursday in response to the recent intrusion at the Chinese embassy in Tokyo.

The spokesperson stressed that the Japanese side must thoroughly investigate the incident at once, bring the full weight of law to bear on the perpetrator and fully account for the incident.

The international community needs to stay on high alert against Japan's accelerating rightward turn and loss of control inside the rapidly expanding SDF, recognize the serious consequences of the proliferation of neo-militarism in Japan, and take measures to prevent neo-militarism from undermining peace and security in the region and beyond, said the spokesperson.
