事实上，美、日两国在核裁军与核不扩散问题上的消极动向才真正值得国际社会高度警惕。美国拥有世界上最庞大、最先进核武库，但仍投入上万亿美元升级“三位一体”核力量，发展低当量核武器，降低核武器使用门槛，并通过出售核潜艇、强化“核保护伞”等方式推动构建极具冷战色彩的“小圈子”。日本作为《不扩散核武器条约》的无核武器缔约国，理应切实履行核不扩散国际义务。但日本却一直享受着美国的“核保护伞”，甚至反对和阻挠美国放弃首先使用核武器政策，国际社会对此早有关切和质疑。
In fact, it is the negative developments in the US and Japan regarding nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation that call for vigilance from the international community. The US already has the largest and most advanced nuclear arsenal in the world but still has invested over a trillion dollars to upgrade its nuclear triad. It has been developing low-yield nuclear weapons, lowering the threshold for using nuclear weapons, and forming a Cold-War style bloc by selling nuclear-powered submarines and strengthening the “nuclear umbrella”. Japan, as a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), is supposed to fulfill its international obligations on non-proliferation. The reality, however, is that Japan has been sitting comfortably under the US’s “nuclear umbrella” and even opposing and obstructing efforts to get the US to relinquish its policy of first use of nuclear weapons. The international community has long questioned and expressed concerns over this.
