According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on November 13, 2025, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sun Weidong held a formal meeting with Japanese Ambassador to China Kimasato Noriharu, raising a serious protest against the erroneous remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato regarding Taiwan.
Sun Weidong stated that Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato recently made open and explicit provocative remarks about Taiwan during a parliamentary response, implying the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait issue. The nature and impact of these remarks are extremely恶劣. After multiple serious protests from the Chinese side, Japan still refuses to repent or retract its erroneous statements. The Chinese side is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposes this, and has raised a serious protest and strong condemnation to the Japanese side.
Sun Weidong pointed out that Takahashi's remarks on Taiwan are extremely wrong and very dangerous, grossly interfering in China's internal affairs, seriously violating international law and basic principles of international relations, seriously undermining the post-war international order, seriously violating the One-China Principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, seriously damaging the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations, and severely hurting the feelings of the Chinese people. The 1.4 billion Chinese people will never accept this!
Sun Weidong emphasized that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests and is an un-crossable red line and bottom line. Taiwan is the sacred territory of China, and the issue of Taiwan is purely China's internal affair. How to resolve the Taiwan issue is the matter of the Chinese people themselves, and no foreign interference is allowed. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of the recovery of Taiwan. Eighty years ago, the brave Chinese people fought for 14 years of bloody battles and defeated the Japanese aggressors. Today, 80 years later, anyone who dares to interfere in China's great cause of national reunification in any form will be met with a fierce counterattack from China! China once again urges the Japanese side to deeply reflect on historical crimes, immediately reflect and correct errors, withdraw the malicious remarks, and not go further down the wrong path, otherwise all consequences must be borne by the Japanese side.
