BEIJING, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) — China won’t ever compromise or concede on its core pursuits akin to nationwide sovereignty and territorial integrity, and any pressure that dares to hinder China’s reunification is doomed to fail, stated Chinese overseas ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Friday.
Lin made the remarks after Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned the Japanese ambassador to China, Kenji Kanasugi, on Thursday, making severe demarches over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s provocative remarks on Taiwan, which indicate the opportunity of armed intervention within the Taiwan Strait.
Lin advised an everyday news briefing that the basis explanation for the issue lies in Takaichi’s “extremely wrongful, dangerous and provocative remarks on Taiwan and her refusal to change course and retract what she had said.”
“That grossly interferes in China’s internal affairs, violates international law and the basic norms of international relations, and damages the post-WWII international order,” Lin stated.
“It also contravenes the one-China principle and the guiding principles set forth in the four China-Japan political documents, disrupts the political foundations of China-Japan relations, and hurts the Chinese people’s sentiment,” he stated.
“We also noted that many politicians and people with vision in Japan raised caution and criticism,” Lin added.
