On the morning of December 10, the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference.
A journalist asked: Japanese Prime Minister Asahi Hayato recently stated that regarding China's declaration in the 1972 "Sino-Japanese Joint Statement" that "Taiwan is an inseparable part of the territory of the People's Republic of China," Japan has taken the stance of "understanding and respecting" this position, which has "not changed at all"; and she said that Japan's basic position on the Taiwan issue is consistent with the "Sino-Japanese Joint Statement" and has not changed. Internet users in Taiwan mocked "Lai Ching-te's Japanese food was in vain." What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Spokesperson Chen Binghua of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already made a solemn position on this matter. I would like to reiterate that the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair and does not allow any external interference. Japanese Prime Minister Asahi Hayato openly made erroneous remarks on Taiwan in the Diet, which grossly interfered in China's internal affairs. In the face of questions and criticisms from the Chinese side and the international community, Asahi only used "the position has not changed" as a superficial excuse. We cannot accept this. The Japanese side should seriously reflect and immediately withdraw its erroneous remarks.
Lai Ching-te, driven by his evil nature to seek "independence," catered to Asahi's erroneous statements, completely abandoning his national stance. His servile behavior toward Japan is despicable and futile.
