Japanese side will only suffer a crushing defeat should it dare to take a risk: Chinese defense ministry

A Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson said on Friday that the erroneous remarks on Taiwan made by the Japanese leader constitute a gross interference in China's internal affairs, and a serious violation of the one-China principle, the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, and the basic norms governing international relations, warning if the Japanese side fails to draw lessons from history and dares to take a risk, or even uses force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willed PLA and pay a heavy price.

"The remarks have challenged the post-war international order, and sent very wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. Such words are egregious in nature and have caused very negative impact. They are extremely irresponsible and dangerous," Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin said on Friday in response to related media inquiries.

Previously, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi claimed that if the Chinese mainland uses military vessels and other forces against Taiwan, it would cause a situation threatening Japan's survival, and the Japanese Self-defense Force could exercise the right of collective self-defense in accordance with law.

The spokesperson noted that the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair, which brooks no foreign interference. This year, we commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and the 80th anniversary of the restoration of Taiwan. Should the Japanese side fail to draw lessons from history and dare to take a risk, or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willed PLA and pay a heavy price.
