Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned Japanese Ambassador to China Kenji Kanasugi on Thursday, making serious démarches over erroneous remarks of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding China.

Sun said that Takaichi openly made blatant and provocative remarks regarding the Taiwan region, even implying the possibility of armed intervention in the Taiwan Straits. The nature and impact of these remarks are extremely egregious. Despite China’s serious démarches and protests, the Japanese side still refused to change course and retrack the erroneous remarks. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this, and lodges solemn representations and strong protests with Japan, Sun said.

Sun pointed out that Takaichi’s remarks related to the Taiwan region are gravely wrong and extremely dangerous. They constitute a flagrant interference in China’s internal affairs, seriously violate international law and the basic norms governing international relations, severely undermine the post-war international order, grossly violate the one-China principle and the guiding principles set forth in the four China-Japan political documents, sabotage the political foundation of China-Japan relations, and deeply hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. The 1.4 billion Chinese people will by no means tolerate such remarks, Sun emphasized.
