Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has issued a stern warning against the resurgence of Japanese militarism, emphasizing that there is no room for compromise on matters of national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Speaking to reporters after concluding his Central Asia tour, Wang asserted that all nations committed to justice have the right and responsibility to prevent Japan from reviving its militaristic tendencies. His remarks followed recent comments by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who publicly discussed the possibility of Japanese military intervention in Taiwan—a statement she has yet to retract. Wang’s Central Asia visit, which included strategic dialogues with counterparts in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, reinforced regional support for the one-China principle. All three nations reaffirmed that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, underscoring the international consensus on the issue. Wang described these statements as timely and significant, highlighting their alignment with China’s stance on Taiwan and the foundational norms of international relations. He reiterated that the one-China principle remains a steadfast and universal agreement within the global community.
