Japanese Cabinet Secretary: Closely Monitor China's Developments
At a press conference on the 5th, Japanese Cabinet Secretary Kiwamu stated: "We have clearly understood the policy of the National People's Congress of China setting this year's economic growth target at 4.5-5.0%. He said, 'The trend of China's economy has a significant impact on Japan's economy and the world economy, and we will continue to closely monitor it.'
About the 7.0% year-on-year increase in defense budget, he expressed cautious concerns: "China is rapidly enhancing its military capabilities and expanding military activities that affect Japan's security, with insufficient transparency."
On the other hand, he reiterated, "The policy of comprehensively promoting a strategic and mutually beneficial relationship with China remains consistent."
