Commentary: Japan's nuclear gamble harms itself and others

卢啸月:日本“拥核”赌局害人害己

A Global Times commentary argues that Japan's government under Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae is moving toward breaking the 'Three Non-Nuclear Principles' by revising the 'non-introduction' principle, which prohibits the introduction of nuclear weapons into Japan. The piece contends this would violate international treaties, undermine regional stability, and betray domestic public opinion, citing polls and local assembly resolutions.
