Majority of Japanese oppose US nuclear sharing, China reacts

A poll conducted by a Japanese citizen survey group showed that 77 percent of the population are against the United States’ nuclear‑sharing framework that would allow American nuclear weapons to be stationed in Japan. China’s foreign ministry spokesperson cited these figures as proof that the Japanese public is firmly opposed to any nuclear deployment on its territory. He warned that ignoring this sentiment would be a grave mistake for the Japanese government, which must honor both domestic opinion and its global non‑proliferation commitments.
