China Urges Japan to Speed Up Chemical Weapons Disposal
China has reiterated its call for Japan to promptly provide actionable intelligence on burial sites and accelerate the disposal of chemical weapons abandoned in China during World War II. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stressed that the destruction process is far behind schedule and poses a hazard to the safety of the Chinese people and the environment. The demand comes on the anniversary of a memorandum between the two governments on the destruction of these weapons.5 sourcesSee all sources
