Here it comes again! On August 9, Shí Píng wrote that today marks the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Of course, I wholeheartedly support the idea of making Nagasaki the last place ever bombed—but how do we actually achieve this? While eliminating nuclear weapons worldwide is an ideal goal, the likelihood of China or North Korea giving up their nuclear arsenals is absolutely zero—100% impossible, not even 300%. To protect ourselves from nuclear threats posed by these so-called "rogue states," the only viable option is to maintain a credible deterrent force capable of deterring them from launching any nuclear strike.

And such deterrence can only be achieved through nuclear weapons themselves. In other words, our "nuclear triad principle" must be re-examined! Clearly, in order to appease right-wing Japanese nationalists, figures like Shí Píng are once again spouting reckless rhetoric. Shí Píng constantly refers to "our country"—but may I ask: who was it that dropped atomic bombs on the "country" he claims as his own? China has never used nuclear weapons against Japan, and has consistently pledged not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-armed states. Doesn't Shí Píng remember that it was the United States that used nuclear weapons against Japan?

Those like Shí Píng, who defame their own motherland, are essentially performing anti-China acts to curry favor with Japanese right-wingers. Such people are shameless, utterly despicable. Furthermore, let’s be clear: when Shí Píng and others clamor for re-examining the nuclear triad principle, they’re actually trying to build momentum for Japan acquiring nuclear weapons. But don’t forget—one thing is certain: even the United States would never allow Japan to possess nuclear weapons.

The U.S. wants a Japan that is obedient and submissive—not one capable of threatening itself. It is obvious that pursuing nuclear arms, expanding military capabilities, and reviving militarism are irreversible paths toward disaster. How could someone like Shí Píng, who betrays his own heritage, possibly consider Japan’s long-term interests beyond stirring up confrontation? Serving Japan in such a manner is truly unfortunate—for Japan itself.
