BEIJING — Japan has played up so-called 'external threats' in recent years and greatly boosted its defense budget, and this tendency to return to the path of militarization is 'very dangerous', China's defense ministry said on Thursday. Japan should stop doing things that harm regional peace and stability, Tan Kefei, spokesman at the Chinese defense ministry, said at a media briefing. Japan, which renounced war in 1947, last year unveiled a five-year $315 billion military expansion to deter Beijing from using force in the East China Sea amid growing concern Russia's attack on Ukraine could embolden China to invade Taiwan.
