China urges Japan to immediately reflect and correct its mistakes
According to a message on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on November 13, 2025, Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned Japanese Ambassador Kimizuka Kenji at the request of the Chinese government, and raised serious representations with Japan over the erroneous remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato regarding Taiwan.
Sun Weidong stated that Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato recently made open provocative remarks about Taiwan during a parliamentary session, implying the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait issue. The nature of these remarks is extremely恶劣. After multiple serious representations from China, Japan still refuses to repent and does not withdraw its erroneous statements. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposes this, and has raised serious representations and strong protests to Japan.
Sun Weidong pointed out that Takahashi's remarks on Taiwan are extremely wrong and very dangerous. They grossly interfere 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 undermining the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations, and seriously hurting the feelings of the Chinese people. 1.4 billion Chinese people will never accept this!
Sun Weidong emphasized that the Taiwan issue is the core of the core interests of China, it 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 external interference is allowed. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the victory of 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. Eighty years later, anyone who dares to interfere in China's unification cause in any form will be met with a severe counterattack from China! China once again urges Japan to deeply reflect on its historical crimes, immediately reflect and correct its mistakes, retract its malicious remarks, and not go further down the wrong path. Otherwise, all consequences must be borne by Japan.
