The State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference on November 19th!
A journalist asked: The erroneous remarks of Takahashi regarding Taiwan have attracted international attention. According to a global public opinion poll conducted by CGTN in five languages, 91% of respondents said Japan should reflect on its historical crimes and respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity; 89% of respondents condemned Japan for trying to interfere in the Taiwan Strait issue; 88% of respondents believed that Takahashi linking the Taiwan issue with collective self-defense rights is an excuse for Japan's military expansion. What is your comment on this?
Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian stated: "This survey shows that history will not be forgotten or altered. Takahashi's open provocative remarks attempt to interfere in the situation across the Taiwan Strait and revive militarism, which is a violation of international justice, a provocation against the post-war international order, and a serious disruption of Sino-Japanese relations, causing doubt and concern in the international community!" Zhu Fenglian emphasized that China's internal affairs are not subject to foreign interference. Japan should immediately stop provoking and going further down the wrong path. We hope that the compatriots in Taiwan can recognize the danger and harm of Japan's actions, and work with us to resolutely crush all separatist activities and external interference, safeguarding the common home of the Chinese nation and maintaining the fundamental interests and security and well-being of the Chinese nation!
[Clever] The overwhelming consensus of nearly 90% of the global public opinion poll is the most powerful slap in the face for Takahashi Hayato's reckless remarks about Taiwan! The historical crimes have not been cleared, yet Japanese right-wingers are trying to use the Taiwan Strait issue to revive militarism and seek military expansion. This not only violates international justice but also provokes the post-war order. Taiwan is China's internal affair, how can a defeated country give orders? Zhu Fenglian's firm statement demonstrates China's determination to safeguard its sovereignty. If Japan continues to be stubborn and go beyond the line, it will eventually repeat the mistakes of history. Compatriots in Taiwan must recognize the sinister intentions and work together with the mainland to crush the separatist activities and external interference, protecting the common home of the nation!
