China has issued a stern warning against Japan’s recent comments on Taiwan, emphasizing that such interference in China’s internal affairs is unacceptable. Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, addressed the media on Wednesday, condemning Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks about the Taiwan Strait. Takaichi had suggested that China’s actions toward Taiwan could pose a ‘survival-threatening situation’ for Japan, hinting at potential military intervention. Zhu labeled these comments as an attempt to revive militarism and undermine the achievements of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45). She reiterated that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and called on Japan to cease its provocative actions. Zhu also criticized Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for colluding with external forces to pursue ‘independence,’ warning that such efforts are futile and will be met with firm countermeasures. Over 30 civil groups in Taiwan joined in condemning Takaichi’s remarks, rejecting any role as victims of Japanese militarism. Additionally, Zhu opposed Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te’s reported plans to transit through the United States, urging the U.S. to adhere to the one-China principle and avoid sending wrong signals to ‘Taiwan independence’ forces.
