China's Foreign Ministry reiterated its firm stance on regional stability on November 21, 2025, as spokesperson Mao Ning cautioned Japan against reviving militarism. Speaking at a press briefing, Mao emphasized that any deviation from Japan's post-war commitment to peaceful development would 'ultimately end in failure,' urging adherence to international norms.
'Neither the Chinese people nor the international community will tolerate actions that destabilize Asia,' Mao stated, addressing growing concerns over Japan's recent defense policy shifts. The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions this year, with analysts noting increased diplomatic activity across East Asia.
Mao's comments underscore China's prioritization of a rules-based international order, particularly in light of 2025's evolving geopolitical landscape. Observers suggest the statement reflects broader efforts to maintain equilibrium in cross-strait and Asia-Pacific relations.
