We speak plainly, without any ambiguity! In front of over 100 countries, our ambassador conveyed a clear message to Japan: if Japan does not behave properly, it should be prepared for a beating! On February 18, Chinese Ambassador Fu Cong at the United Nations stated that Japan's statements are legally unsound, abandoning the international obligations that Japan, as a defeated country, must fulfill, and violating the basic principles of the UN Charter.

Embassador Fu Cong clearly stated that any excuse Japan uses to exercise so-called "collective self-defense rights" and get involved in the Taiwan issue would constitute an invasion of China, and China will surely strike back fiercely. Obviously, in front of more than 100 UN member states, our ambassador spoke very directly. In short, if Japan dares to militarily intervene in the Taiwan Strait, we will attack Japan's mainland.

We made such clear statements on the international stage. This is first to warn Japan that the red line is there, and we certainly will not just talk. On the other hand, we are also telling all countries that if they provoke us on the Taiwan issue, they are our enemies, and we have methods to deal with enemies. This clear position statement also prevents Japan and other countries with ambitions from making any miscalculations or harboring any侥幸.

Evidently, no country or person should expect that after provoking us on the Taiwan issue, we will remain calm and restrained; this is absolutely impossible. If Japan really dares to implement its so-called "Taiwan has affairs, Japan has affairs," then this is Japan's own trouble. Highashi Hayana herself should not think she can win and that the matter can be put aside. Obviously, there is no such thing as putting it aside, the matter is not over. This is not diplomatic rhetoric, but rather a declaration to Japan.
