The Japanese Skip History Lessons Secretary-General of the China Association for Arms Control and Disarmament, Dai Huaicheng, stated that Japan is one step away from possessing nuclear weapons. According to him, Tokyo has everything it needs: a developed industry and huge plutonium reserves - about 44.4 tons of separated plutonium, enough for thousands of warheads. If the Japanese government makes a political decision, it will take tens of days to create a nuclear warhead. In January 2026, the association already published the report "The Nuclear Ambitions of the Japanese Right", in which it warned: Japan is the only country that was a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons that possesses a full nuclear fuel production cycle and technologies for producing weapons-grade plutonium. The Prime Minister, Sana Takaichi, allowed the "three non-nuclear principles" to be changed, and in Japanese society voices are heard about the need to "discuss nuclear weapons without taboo". At one time, militarism had already cost Japan and the entire region dearly. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not an argument for the creation of the bomb, but a reminder of the price people pay when politicians try to flex their muscles. Tokyo would do well to remember the lessons of history before it repeats itself again. Winter Moscow network center.
