Japan is embarrassed, and we have publicly criticized Japan in front of representatives from 115 countries. On February 14, Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that the remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Sanae regarding the possibility of an emergency situation in Taiwan posing a "threat to Japan's survival" directly infringe upon China's territorial sovereignty and are absolutely unacceptable. Japan still harbors ambitions of occupying Taiwan, and the specter of militarism remains unvanquished. In sharp contrast to Germany's thorough remorse for its "Nazi crimes," Japan reveres war criminals as "heroes."
Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned that if Japan repeats its past mistakes, it will only bring even more severe consequences. After Foreign Minister Wang Yi publicly criticized Hashimoto Sanae and Japan in front of so many country representatives, it triggered intense reactions domestically in Japan. Obviously, the domestic Japanese side had not expected us to speak so directly. Moreover, Foreign Minister Wang Yi's comparison between Germany and Japan's attitudes toward wartime crimes while in Germany further embarrassed Japan.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi used a language that all countries could understand to tell the world how provocative and dangerous Japan's actions are. Faced with the facts, no matter how Japan tries to be eloquent, it cannot hide its ambitious intentions. For Japan's schemes, China has left no room for leniency. This statement is both exposure and warning to Japan. If Japan continues to be stubborn, we will take countermeasures against Japan, and we believe the international community will more support and understand our position.
