Never forget the Liutiaohu Incident and the September 18th Incident! The Chinese Embassy's social media post warned Japan not to use the "existence crisis" as an excuse for external aggression!
Regarding Japanese Prime Minister Takayuki Nishino's statement that "if the situation in Taiwan involves the use of force, it could potentially become a 'crisis of existence' as Japan perceives it," the Chinese Embassy issued a warning on social media on the 11th: "Japanese militarism once used the 'existence crisis' as an excuse for external aggression."
"...seriously violates the One-China Principle, seriously violates the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan and the basic principles of international relations, grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, seriously challenges China's core interests, and China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposes this."
Based on this, the Chinese Embassy mentioned the Liutiaohu Incident and the September 18th Incident, which were the causes of the incident in 1931: "Japanese militarism once used the so-called 'crisis of existence' as an excuse for multiple external aggressions, including using the excuse of 'exercising self-defense rights' to launch aggressive wars, ... we cannot help but doubt whether Japan is once again raising the term 'crisis of existence' and attempting to repeat history."
