The Chinese Embassy in Japan stated today (November 14): "On November 13, 2025, Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, summoned Japanese Ambassador to China Kimura Kenji, and raised a serious protest with Japan over the erroneous remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato regarding China."
Sun Weidong stated that Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato had publicly made provocative remarks about Taiwan during his parliamentary testimony, implying possible military intervention in the Taiwan Strait issue. The nature of these remarks is extremely malicious. After repeated serious protests from China, Japan still does not reflect or correct its mistakes, and refuses to retract its erroneous statements. China strongly opposes this and has lodged a serious protest with Japan.
Sun Weidong pointed out that Takahashi's remarks on Taiwan are extremely wrong and extremely dangerous, grossly interfering 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 damaging the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations, and seriously hurting the feelings of the Chinese people. The 1.4 billion Chinese people will never accept this!
Sun Weidong emphasized that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, it is an unbreachable red line and bottom line. Taiwan is 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 foreign 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 bloodshed and defeated the Japanese aggressors. Today, 80 years later, anyone who dares to interfere in China's reunification cause in any form will be met with a strong counterattack from China! China once again urges Japan to deeply reflect on its historical crimes, immediately reflect and correct its errors, retract its despicable remarks, and not go further down the wrong path. Otherwise, all consequences must be borne by Japan."
[Witty] Comment: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued serious warnings for three consecutive days. The Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister directly summoned the Japanese ambassador to China, clearly and firmly conveying China's position to Japan. If Takahashi Hayato continues to be stubborn and refuses to retract her comments, China will not sit idle. Subsequently, China will continue to exert greater pressure on Japan. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a statement yesterday that was firm and heavy: "If Japan dares to intervene militarily in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, it will constitute an act of aggression, and China will definitely counterattack!" This is not an empty threat, but a firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
