At the daily briefing, Lin urged Japan to stick to international law and its own pacifist constitution, calling any move toward nuclear armament "provocative" and a major risk to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
Lin stressed that the international community must stay highly vigilant and firmly oppose remarks that undermine regional security. He warned that China will not accept any challenge to international justice or tests of the global community's bottom line.
