China solemnly urges Japan to retract erroneous remarks in meeting with Japanese official in Beijing: FM

In response to a media inquiry on details of the consultations between Masaaki Kanai, the director-general of the Japanese Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, with Liu Jinsong, director general of the Department of Asian Affairs of the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said that this morning, Liu held consultations in Beijing with Kanai.

During the consultations, China lodged stern representations with Japan once again over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks on Taiwan question, pointing out that Takaichi's fallacious statements seriously violate international law and the basic norms governing international relations, gravely undermine the post-war international order, and blatantly contravene the one-China principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan.

These remarks fundamentally damage the political foundation of China-Japan relations, are of an extremely egregious nature and impact, and have aroused strong indignation and condemnation among the Chinese people, Mao said.

Mao said that China solemnly urges Japan to retract its erroneous statements, stop creating trouble on issues related to China, and take concrete actions to correct its mistakes and uphold the political foundation of China-Japan relations.
