近来，日本高市早苗政府加快强军扩武。政府高官公然宣称"日本应该拥有核武器"，防卫开支预算提前 两年实现"占国内生产总值（GDP）的比例达到2%"的目标，执政党内部就进一步取消武器出口限制达 成一致……日本政府的危险动向引发日本社会各界警惕与反对。 "这是极其不负责任的言论，绝对不能接受" 据多家日本媒体报道，日本首相官邸一名负责安保政策的高官日前向媒体宣称日本应该拥有核武器。相 关言论被披露后，在日本国内引发强烈批评。 日本前防卫大臣中谷元12月19日指出，代表政府立场的人士"不应轻率发表个人意见，这种言论不可容 忍"。他认为，既然这些言论已经公开，就必须采取相应措施，"首相高市早苗应考虑采取适当的措施， 包括该官员的去留"。 日本公明党党首齐藤铁夫19日在国会对媒体表示，这类言论"性质严重，足以解除发表该言论者的职 务"。他表示，"无核三原则"和核不扩散体制是"日本安全保障的基础"，拥有核武器不仅会导致日本在 外交上被孤立，还会严重恶化日本的安全环境。 近年来，日本大幅提高防卫预算，防卫费已连续13年增加，近5年激增约60%。2022年底，日本通过 新"安保三文件"，提出2027财年实现防卫开支占GDP2% ...

【环球时报驻日本特约记者 邵南 环球时报记者 刘雅婷 丁雅栀 环球时报特约记者 王辉】 编者的话： 近期，日本防卫省向各 地小学分发儿童版《防卫白皮书》的做法，引发日本教育界的强烈反对和严重担忧，教职员工批评手册内容带有军国主义 色彩，本质上是自卫队招募宣传，侵犯儿童权利。日本共产党及一些民主团体均要求防卫省和各地政府收回儿童版《防卫 白皮书》。事实上，日本右翼势力近年来一直尝试悄悄将军国主义思想带进中小学，以此为强军扩武政策铺路。这些行为 违背日本战后"和平宪法"精神，误导年轻一代对历史与战争的认识，损害日本与周边国家之间的互信，对地区和平稳定构 成威胁。 已有 6100 册儿童版《防卫白皮书》分发至 2400 所小学 12月1日，针对日本防卫省向各地小学分发儿童版《防卫白皮书》一事，日本教职工团体"全日本教职员工组合"等组织与防 卫省、文部科学省相关负责人当面交涉，批评手册内容渲染煽动对特定国家的危机感，实质上是自卫队招募宣传，涉嫌违 反《儿童权利公约》。该公约1989年在联合国大会上通过，是史上缔约国最多的人权公约，于1994年在日本正式获得批 准，其中第三十八条第三款明确要求缔约国应避免招募未满15周 ...
