When asked whether China requested the US to convey any messages to Japan during the phone call between the two leaders given the US-Japan leaders' call took place after the China-US leaders' call, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at the press briefing on Wednesday that China has already released information of the call between the heads of state of China and the US, which media can refer to. Mao added that she has no further information to offer.
On Tuesday, multiple Japanese media outlets closely followed a telephone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi at Trump's request and highlighted that the call occurred shortly after the conversation between the Chinese and US heads of state, during which the Taiwan question was discussed.
The Japanese media outlets focused on whether the Taiwan question was discussed during the Trump-Takaichi call, especially amid the China-Japan tensions. However, when facing reporters after her phone call with Trump, Takaichi evaded addressing whether they discussed the Taiwan question, saying that "the details of the discussions are diplomatic exchanges and will be withheld."
