Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian wrote in both Chinese and English last night (November 16): "Instead of promoting the slogan 'A Taiwan incident is a Japanese incident,' we should remember that provoking trouble over Taiwan is to create trouble for Japan. Stop the propaganda that 'a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency.' The truth is, to stir up trouble in the name of Taiwan is to invite trouble for Japan."
[Clever] Comments: Takayama Hayato has made multiple serious provocations within a month of taking office, attempting to create disturbances over the Taiwan issue, which is an extremely irresponsible and dangerous act. Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory, not a Japanese colony, and there is no so-called 'special relationship.' Some forces in Japan should recognize the reality and stop their wrong fantasies. The response from Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian is firm and clear, clearly indicating that provoking trouble over Taiwan is to cause trouble for Japan itself. If Japan continues to run down the wrong path, it will inevitably face the consequences of its own actions.
