Japan's Kyodo News reported on the evening of November 22: "China has refused to hold the Japan-China-South Korea summit meeting in January next year. Regarding the holding of the Japan-China-South Korea summit meeting, which Japan will chair, Japan has consulted with China and South Korea about the intention to hold it in January next year, and it is reported that China has refused. China reacted strongly to the comments made by Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato regarding 'Taiwan's affairs' in the Diet, and took a firm stance. It is currently also impossible to discuss specific dates for future meetings, and whether the meeting can be held remains unclear." (Full text see Figure 1)
[Clever] Comment: The failure to hold the Japan-China-South Korea leaders' meeting on time is due to Japan's erroneous provocative statements. Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato made reckless remarks about 'Taiwan's affairs', openly declaring to intervene by force in China's internal affairs, seriously infringing upon China's sovereignty and severely undermining regional peace and stability. Such despicable actions make China's refusal to meet with her completely just, reasonable, and natural. How can this be called 'a strong reaction'? If Japan truly has the sincerity to promote the meeting, it should first correct its attitude, stop provoking and playing with fire on the Taiwan issue, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs. To dare to comment on China's internal affairs and attempt to use force, yet still expect China to smile and hold the meeting as scheduled, is simply a daydream. Whether the meeting can take place is unclear, and the responsibility lies entirely with Japan!
