China has expressed "deep concern" about Japan's defense policy overhaul, reported Xinhua, China's main government-run news agency. "We are deeply concerned with the great changes of Japan's military defense strategy and its possible impact," said Zhang Qiyue, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Translation: Shit! Couldn't they have stayed asleep until it was too late?
The Japanese government has approved a new National Defense Program Outline. The outline features more proactive use of force and deeper involvement of the self-defense-oriented troops in international affairs.
Doncha love diplo-speak: "more proactive use of force" - heh.
Japan, the outline says, will continue to watch China's moves in military modernization and marine activities. The document describes China has a potential threat.
F**kin' Duh.
Zhang said she expressed China's "strong dissatisfaction" to the Japanese government. "This is totally groundless and extremely irresponsible," she said.
