China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, has strongly condemned recent remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding Taiwan, labeling them as ‘extremely erroneous and dangerous.’ Speaking at a UN General Assembly plenary session on Tuesday, Fu asserted that a nation making such statements is ‘completely unfit’ to pursue a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. The comments come amid ongoing tensions between China and Japan over Taiwan, which China views as an inalienable part of its territory. Fu’s remarks underscore Beijing’s firm stance on safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity, while also challenging Japan’s aspirations for a more prominent role in global governance. The incident highlights the broader geopolitical rivalry between the two Asian powers and raises questions about Japan’s diplomatic credibility on the international stage.
