China Defense Minister Warns Japan on Militarism at Xiangshan Forum

At the Xiangshan Security Forum, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun issued a veiled warning to Japan, urging vigilance against 'hegemony, militarism, and historical revisionism.' This rhetoric signals continued Sino-Japanese tension over historical and territorial issues, though it stops short of concrete action. The statement may reflect Beijing's concern over Tokyo's defense buildup and aligns with China's recent diplomatic posture.
