On December 11, Gao Jiakun, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, held a regular press conference.
A journalist from Dubai China-Arab Satellite TV asked, according to reports, in response to the statement on the Taiwan issue during the parliamentary session, Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Asaoka said that because there are various unresolved issues between Japan and China, it is more important to adhere to the policy of reducing issues, enhancing understanding and cooperation. Japan is open to dialogue at all levels with China. Recently, Japan again discharged nuclear wastewater, and an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 occurred during the discharge. Japan often asks why China prohibits Japanese seafood imports, why China issued so-called "radar illumination" against the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and many "whys." Japan never reflects on its own mistakes, but instead wants China to take the blame. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Gao Jiakun stated that the erroneous remarks by Prime Minister Hashimoto Asaoka on the Taiwan issue have not only caused strong indignation among the Chinese people, but also more and more objective and rational opposition and critical voices within Japan.
"I noticed that recently, the former editor-in-chief of the Japanese magazine 'World' and the former president of Iwanami Shoten said that Prime Minister Hashimoto frequently mentions 'dialogue' but real dialogue begins with respecting the other party and understanding them from an equal position. Hashimoto's attitude makes it impossible to have a dialogue," this sentence reveals the essence of the problem.
