“The
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has slammed Japan over security
legislation recently approved by a Japanese parliamentary panel
allowing troops to be deployed outside the country. 'The approval of
the new security bills by Japan’s House of Representatives is an
unprecedented move since the Second World War, and may lead to
significant changes in Japan’s military and security policies,'
spokesman Hua Chunying said in a statement.”
“Beijing
urged Tokyo 'to respect' the major security concerns of its Asian
neighbors and 'refrain from jeopardizing China’s sovereignty and
security interests or crippling regional peace and stability.'”
“Japan’s
parliamentary panel had earlier approved two other security bills
allowing the country’s Self Defense Force to take part in military
action abroad, even when neither Japanese territory nor its citizens
are under threat.”
