China Slams Shinzo Abe Over His Calls To Host US Nukes In The Country; Tokyo Responds

China has strongly objected to former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s call for Tokyo to contemplate housing US nuclear weapons and advised the neighboring country to reflect thoroughly on its history. Declassified records suggest that the United States placed nuclear weapons on Okinawa before it reverted to Japanese control in 1972. There is no change in our position in the commitment to the three non-nuclear principles,” the minister said during the debate in the budget commission. Japan’s three non-nuclear principles imply not possessing, not producing and not permitting the introduction of nuclear weapons in the country. The nuclear sharing concept, mentioned by Abe, is a strategy of joint use of NATO’s nuclear arsenal by member states.
