BEIJING, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Tuesday that China will never allow the resurgence of Japanese militarism, nor will China allow anyone to challenge the post-war international order and undermine global peace and stability ever again.

Mao's remarks came after several Japanese officials indicated that Japan plans to modify the ranks of its Self-Defense Forces and revert to use then Imperial Japanese Army rank titles.

The aggression of Japanese militarism has inflicted profound suffering on Asia and the world, said Mao, adding that those who forget the consequences of the war will put themselves in grave peril.
