On November 6, Ma Ning, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked: According to reports, the Japanese government announced on the 3rd the list of foreigners to be awarded in the autumn of 2025, and awarded the "Order of the Rising Sun, Grand Cordon" to "former representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan" Hsieh Ching-teng. Hsieh Ching-teng posted on his social media on the 3rd stating that he will continue to contribute to promoting "Japan-Taiwan friendship." What is China's comment on this?
In response, Ma Ning questioned: "What does the Japanese side intend by awarding medals to people who promote 'Taiwan independence' rhetoric? Is it intended to support and encourage 'Taiwan independence' elements? What message is it trying to send to the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces?"
Ma Ning also emphasized that the Taiwan issue is the core of the core interests of China, concerning the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations and the basic credibility of the Japanese side. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of the recovery of Taiwan. The Chinese side urges the Japanese side to deeply reflect on historical crimes, abide by the One-China Principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, and exercise caution in their words and actions on the Taiwan issue, and stop sending any wrong signals to the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces."
