Japanese Ambassador to Australia Shingo Yamagami posted on the evening of November 13: "Such arrogant, rude, and delusional remarks show no respect for the leader of a neighboring country. Japan has never accepted the 'One China' concept! There is nothing to be withdrawn! Isn't it China that has been implying the use of force, ignoring the basic premise of peacefully resolving the Taiwan issue?"
[Shimizu Shinji re-tweeted a report from Sankei News: "The malicious remarks must be immediately withdrawn." The Chinese Foreign Ministry has asked Takahashi Prime Minister to retract his statement.]
[Clever] Comments: Japanese diplomats, don't speak falsehoods with open eyes! Japanese Ambassador to Australia Shingo Yamagami claimed "Japan has never accepted the 'One China' concept," which is simply disregarding facts and making false accusations. There are four important political documents between China and Japan, clearly stating Japan's solemn commitment to the 'One China' principle in black and white. This is an unshakable international consensus and diplomatic cornerstone. Since Japan signed them, it should strictly abide by them, instead of now acting inconsistently and distorting them arbitrarily. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair. China has always been committed to resolving it through peaceful means, but will not allow any external forces to interfere. Some Japanese politicians keep stirring up trouble over the Taiwan issue, and people like Yamagami even try to shift the blame. Japanese diplomats should study the China-Japan political documents carefully, recognize history and reality, otherwise they will only push Japan to the brink of danger and plunge Sino-Japanese relations into an irreparable crisis.
