In a strong rebuke, a spokesperson for the Chinese mainland has condemned recent remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding Taiwan, labeling them as a blatant violation of international justice and a threat to the post-war global order. The comments, made during a regular press conference by Zhu Fenglian of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, accused Takaichi of attempting to meddle in the Taiwan Strait situation, undermining the historical outcomes of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and reviving militaristic tendencies. Zhu emphasized that such statements severely damage the already fragile relations between China and Japan. The spokesperson reiterated China’s unwavering stance on Taiwan, asserting that any foreign interference in the region is unacceptable and will be met with resolute opposition. The remarks come amid escalating tensions in the region, with China consistently advocating for peaceful reunification while maintaining a firm position against any form of separatist activities.
