The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country's response to the harsh remarks by Takahashi Asami today is quite firm.
Key points:
"After China expressed serious negotiations and strong protests, they still remain stubborn and refuse to retract."
"The Japanese side must immediately correct and withdraw from the malicious remarks, otherwise all consequences must be borne by the Japanese side."
"If the Japanese side dares to use force to intervene in the Taiwan Strait situation, it will constitute an act of aggression, and China will definitely strike back fiercely! We will resolutely exercise the right of self-defense granted by the UN Charter and international law, and firmly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
The meaning is that if the Japanese side uses force to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, it will be regarded as an armed attack, and China has the right to take necessary self-defense measures until the threat is eliminated. This action complies with international law and the UN Charter.
