A Japanese minister denies militarism, per se? That sounds wrong.
First sentence of the article:
Japan’s defence minister has rebutted Beijing’s claim that his country is engaging in a “new militarism” - criticising China for its military expansion and lack of transparency.
That makes more sense.
Personally, I don’t buy into any “China’s peaceful imperialism” narrative. Sure, they’re better than the US and Russia, but that’s a pretty low bar.
Not sure I like the current Japanese regime either though.
No country with such a big arsernal can control the temptation of actually using it. We’ve seen it time and again it’s basically everywhere in the history. This ain’t Wakanda, they’re actively building and gaining territory in South China Sea. Even orange cat don’t buy the story of them being peaceful.

Isn’t Japan also hosting an enormous US Naval buildup right now?
This feels like a repeat of Ukraine/Russia.
Where Russia invade Ukraine for their territory while using NATO and Nazi as an excuse? Yeah i think so too.

Ask tibet about the peaceful imperialism
Fair enough. Imo any non nuclear nation gets a pass at criticising nuclear ones. Fuckers got an end of the world button.
I wonder why news titles do this, why do they step the possessive from the country? “Japan defense minister”, instead of “Japan’s defense minister”?
