On this day, 65 years ago, on January 14, 1960 (December 16, 1959, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China issued a statement opposing the Japan-US Military Alliance Treaty. Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China on the Signing of a Military Alliance Treaty between Japan and the United States (January 14, 1960) Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi ignored the firm opposition of the Japanese people and repeated warnings from the people of China and peace-loving countries around the world. He decided to go to the United States on the 16th of this month. On the 19th, he signed the Japan-US Military Alliance Treaty with the U.S. government in Washington in the name of amending the Japan-US Security Treaty. This is an extremely serious step taken by the Japanese reactionaries and U.S. imperialism to collude with each other to prepare for new aggression and war and threaten peace in Asia and the world. The China people have always been concerned about the Japanese people's struggle for independence, democracy, peace and neutrality and against the revival of Japanese militarism. Since Nobusuke Kishi came to power, the China government has repeatedly pointed out the danger of Japanese reactionaries actively resurrecting Japanese militarism and expanding abroad under the support of U.S. imperialism. Now, the China government cannot but solemnly point out that this danger has become a reality. The signing of the Japan-US Military Alliance Treaty marks the revival of Japanese militarism and Japan's blatant participation in the aggressive military bloc of the United States. This cannot but arouse the serious vigilance of the people of Asian countries. In order to prevent the revival of Japanese militarism and the resurgence of Japanese aggression, the Allied countries concluded a series of international agreements during World War II and after Japan's surrender, and the U.S. government is obligated to abide by these agreements. The US-Japan Military Alliance Treaty is in complete violation of these solemn international agreements. Thanks to the joint efforts of the socialist camp led by the Soviet Union and peace-loving countries and people, the current international situation has eased to a certain extent. The U.S. ruling clique also flaunts peace and continues to make gestures of willingness to ease international tensions. However, it was at this time that the United States and Japan signed a military alliance treaty, which once again proved that the purpose of the United States is aggression and war. The so-called peace and relaxation is just a cover for its preparations for war. The government of the People's Republic of China firmly opposes the Japan-US Military Alliance Treaty. We believe that the Japanese people will wage an unremitting struggle and work hard to defeat the conspiracy of the US and Japanese reactionaries. Times have changed. No matter how rampant the US and Japanese reactionaries are, their criminal plot to enslave the Japanese people and threaten the people of Asian countries is doomed to failure.
