Jeffrey Sachs warns: Japan militarism back

Japan should provide an honest, accurate and complete clarification of its so-called "consistent position" on Taiwan, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday. The spokesperson added that a written response released by the Japanese government on Tuesday continued to repeat its old rhetoric. This long-standing friction is fueled by rising nationalism and extreme elements within Japan. To analyze the geopolitical stakes, we turn to Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University. He believes Japan's militarism serves no one's interests and could drag the world into a catastrophic situation. #Japan #China #Militarism #Taiwan #US #JeffreySachs
