BEIJING, May 12 (Xinhua) -- The Asia-Pacific countries should stay clear-eyed and jointly reject the reckless moves of Japanese neo-militarism to safeguard the order of peace on which all countries rely for survival and development, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday. Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks at a daily press briefing when answering a relevant query. Noting that Japanese militarism inflicted untold suffering on people in the Asia Pacific, Guo said the prosperity and development of the Asia-Pacific countries benefit from the peaceful foundation laid down by the post-WWII international order. The reality that must not be ignored is that Japan's right-wing forces are moving faster to undermine this order and foundation with specific roadmap and steps, Guo stressed. "The 'gray rhino' of Japan's remilitarization is running towards us," he said, noting that many international experts, scholars and media have noted that Japan has abandoned pacifism, and is undergoing its most dangerous shift in military and security policy since WWII, posing great threats to peace and stability in the region and beyond. "History shall not be forgotten. Reality shall not be overlooked," the spokesperson said.
