China forced the nuclear test. China getting behind in the possession of nuclear weapon insisted that the nuclear test is necessary and indispensable to collect various "Data" and to develop the nuclear weapon not inferior to the United States and Russia. China promises to experiment only one more time in September and freezes after that, too. The monopolistic capitals of Japan held serious consciousness of crisis in the appearance of China as a nuclear large country and though they concealed the misgivings to the nuclear development of China in the campaign of the nuclear test opposition, but they mutter, "It is not wise to isolate" China and they do not freeze the Yen Credit.

The monopolistic capitals cannot stop it easily because there are big interests of them relate to this "Economic help".

Thus, the Japanese monopolistic capitals are faced to one dilemma.

That is, though the appearance of China as "an Economic large country" is a profit for the capitalistic development of Japan (imagine what attractive and vast new market it is for the Japanese bourgeoisie), on the other hand,

it is also the appearance of China as a bourgeois large country, so also as a military large country (armed with the nuclear weapon that Japanese monopolistic capital do not have yet), and it is also the appearance of a powerful nation that will become "Threat" of Japanese monopolistic capitals in the future near Japan.

====================

It might be one change as China that has justified nuclear armament and the nuclear test by stating "the Threat" of Russia and United States up to now that China promised to stop the nuclear test in the future and had declared to the important person in Japan, "China does not feel fear neither to Russia nor to the United States".

The possibility is talked about to this that the United States having wanted to draw out "the Concession" of China gave the promise of granting to China to some degree the simulation technology of the nuclear explosion or Russia become to give China the technology of plural target warhead nuclear missile, or etc.

Anyway, the workers confirm it a part of the international imperialists' politics and not any more to force or to stop the nuclear test of China.

The imperialist nations regard "cooperation" more important than struggle, and they maneuver to rule and "control" the world in cooperation with some power countries.

So the reason that China tries to keep step in the nuclear test with the United States and Russia in the meantime may be that China has appeared also as a member of such imperialist powers.

Actually, China wants to avoid "setting up things" with bourgeois large countries such as Japan and the United States so that China may thoroughly promote the "Economic construction".

Because, it has the importance of life and death to introduce the capital and the technology from such nations now.

It is said that China is pursuing "the Lightning" and "the Making to a multiple warhead" of the nuclear weapon. The reason is that China wants it in opposition with the United States by any means.

The nuclear missile that China has now flies only 2 or 3 thousands km and it is difficult to take the United States in the range.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop the ICBM of 10 thousands km class by all means.

However, it is indispensable for that to lighten the nuclear weapon, and so on, and the experiment cannot be easily stopped.

Of course, it is not the problem to drive the nuclear weapon to the United States directly but the military power back to be able to confront the United States "equally" is necessary.

Also in the experiment at this time, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is announcing the following declarations.

"There are still huge nuclear weapon barns in today world, and there exist the threat of the nucleus war to use nuclear weapon preemptively.

To maintain the highest profit of the nation and the race in such situation, China cannot do nothing but the necessary least nuclear test."

No one can deny that there exist "Huge nuclear weapons" in the United States and Russia.

And, China has always faced the danger to be "Invaded" by these two large countries and to be attacked with nucleus historically (And even now --- look at the crisis that comes round in "Taiwan" recently).

China insists, it is natural that China should defend oneself therefore and does development and "Modernization" of the nuclear weapon for that and it is also sacred right of the nation.

Of course, as well as the United States and Russia before, China does not forget to swear solemnly that "China does not slacken and concentrate the maximum effort to achieve a sublime target of the world without the nuclear weapon early and to maintain permanent peace and universal safety", and moreover, does not stop to emphasize the nuclear test and the nuclear possession of China is extremely "Effective" and a necessary process for that.

The reaction of the Japanese Communist Party is also extremely characteristic.

On the one side, as if the world would (should) be ruled by only "Good intentions" by abstractly thinking about the reality of the imperialist world, they take out one or another morality or find the novel one as "the Nuclear persistence power", criticize and intend to persuade it, on the other hand, they censure China to be extremely "Egoistic".

"Though China has said repeatedly as "for self-defense" at every time of nuclear test, this is a egoistic insistence by which the privilege of the nuclear possession country is abused.

If China says nuclear weapons would be necessary for self-defense, it would be asked how to think about the problem of the self-defense of large majority of countries that are prohibited the nuclear possession by NPT." (The Red Flag, June 9)

"The countries of large majority that are prohibited nuclear possession" about which the Communist Party worries are Japan, etc.

Here, the Communist Party speaks from the standpoint of the Japanese monopolistic capitals, and protects the profit.

If China repeats the nuclear test and reinforces the nuclear weapon possession,

how do you deal with the profit of Japan that is bound by an international agreement and cannot possess the nuclear weapon.

It might be too clear that this is not the standpoint of the workers who base on to the internationalism but the standpoint of the Japanese monopolistic capitals.

Though the Communist Party attacks the egoism of the new bourgeoisie in China, they protect the egoism of the Japanese monopolistic capitals by the shadow and oppose the egoism of Japan to the egoism of China.

This is exactly suitable for the petty bourgeois racialist.

Then, how will be about the liberal public opinion?

The Asahi announced the editorial "Stop the another one times" concerning the nuclear test of China on 9th, in that, they intended to persuade China of the loss of the nuclear test by suing for "the Profit" of China.

"In the countries of Asia, 'the Chinese Threat Doctrine 'that China grows to a military large country rises.

The Chinese sides refute strongly.

Nevertheless, if China continues to aim at the ability improvement of nuclear weapon

disregarding the opposite to the experiment, 'the Threat Doctrine' will be increased

however hard they may insist it as the defense purpose. It might not be a good policy for China."

Moreover, this petty bourgeois liberal public opinion says, too, that the Chinese nuclear test "damages the Japanese mind" and ruins the friendship between Japan and China, so it is only the drawback for China, and he urges China to change the decision.

However, it might be too clear that the advice of the liberal ends powerless and has not a wonderful persuasive power because China insists that it is the profit to have powerful military strength.

The nuclear test is the problem that affects the essence of the bourgeois nations and it is not, or cannot be, the problem of general "Friendship" consideration.

Moreover, it is cheating and not consistent at all that the bourgeois liberal public opinion, scarcely criticizing the Japan's military large country making, not exposing and fighting against it, takes out only the China's military large country making or the nuclear test, and criticizes to it especially.

To say about the overall military power, the Self Defense Forces of Japan is far more than the army of China, is not it?

Of course, the maximum hypocrisy persons are the monopolistic capitals of Japan.

Though they have hardly criticized to the USA nuclear test that exceeds 1000 times

up to now (and, installed comfortably in the United States' "Umbrella of the nucleus"), they change the complexion and criticize to the nuclear test of China (only 1 and 2 times).

The liberal public opinion of Japan refutes China that criticized "Japan does not have the qualification to criticize the nucleus of China because it is in the umbrella of the United States nucleus", and insists "the nuclear possession differs from the umbrella of the nucleus, the umbrella of the nucleus is the passive defense and is not the attacked power, and cannot do the retaliation attack not to mention the preemptive attack." (The Asahi, 'the Insistence' column)

However, why can they say "not to be able to do even the retaliation attack"? It is "the Umbrella of the nucleus" because the United States attacks even if Japan does not attack, is not it?

What the liberals say is quite random, and they conceal and cheat that the nuclear possession and "the Umbrella of the nucleus" are the same essentially.

They say that the nuclear policy of the bourgeois nation of Japan is right and only the nuclear policy of the nation of China is bad.

However, the workers insist that it is the same and crime both and will expose the common crime of the bourgeois nations of Japan and China.
