Japaneses rally against Takaichi's erroneous remarks regarding China's Taiwan

Japanese citizens and social groups held rallies on Sunday in Yokosuka City, demanding that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi retract her erroneous remarks regarding China's Taiwan region, and opposing her plans to expand the military. 

Nearly 100 Japanese citizens gathered in front of a station in downtown Yokosuka to condemn Takaichi's erroneous remarks. 

Participants in the rally also held signs that read "Remove Yokosuka Base" and "Remove Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier" in protest against the presence of the US naval base in the area. 

On the same day, another group of Japanese citizens and social groups rallied in the city to express their concerns and opposition to the government's military buildup and expansion plans. 

The Three Non-Nuclear Principles -- not possessing, not producing, and not allowing the introduction of nuclear weapons into Japanese territory -- were first declared in the Diet, Japan's parliament, by then Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato in 1967 and have been viewed as a national credo.
