Foreign Ministry: Japan must immediately correct its remarks and withdraw the offensive statements, otherwise all consequences must be borne by Japan.

Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated on November 13 at a regular press conference that Japanese Prime Minister Asahi Hayato recently made explicit provocative remarks regarding Taiwan in the Diet, implying the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait. After China expressed serious representations and strong protests, he remained obstinate and refused to withdraw his remarks. These erroneous actions seriously violate the One-China Principle, the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, and the basic norms of international relations. They grossly interfere in China's internal affairs, challenge China's core interests, and infringe upon China's sovereignty. China firmly opposes and will not tolerate these actions. The Japanese side must immediately correct its mistakes, retract its malicious statements, otherwise all consequences must be borne by the Japanese side. (Reporters: Dong Xue, Liu Yang)
