What is China's comment?

  The spokesperson said that the "2+2" meeting of the Japanese and US foreign ministers and related statements made groundless accusations against China, grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, and violated China's territorial sovereignty. China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.

The relevant practices of the Japanese side have seriously damaged the efforts of China and Japan to build mutual trust and have seriously interfered with the improvement and development of China-Japan relations.

China has lodged solemn representations with Japan and the United States, and the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also stated its position.

  The spokesperson pointed out that China has always been an important force in maintaining world peace and promoting common development, and has always firmly upheld the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law.

Relevant countries have always adhered to double standards. They apply international laws and international rules if they are compatible, and discard if they don't. They are not qualified to criticize other countries.

Japan and the United States' actions to discredit and attack China are unreasonable and unpopular.

  The spokesman said that the Japan-US alliance, as a bilateral arrangement, should not target or harm the interests of third parties.

Japan and the United States cling to the Cold War mentality, forming gangs in the region and forming "small circles", and even creating political and military confrontations. They are completely against the trend of the times and will only bring chaos, division and conflicts, and seek peace and peace with the countries in the region. The expectation of seeking development and promoting cooperation runs counter to the expectation, and its conspiracy is destined to fail.

  The spokesperson emphasized that China's position on Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Diaoyu Islands, South China Sea and other issues is consistent and clear, and it will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests. We once again urge relevant countries to follow the trend of the times, discard outdated zero-sum game thinking and ideological prejudices, stop unprovoked accusations against China and interference in China's internal affairs, and further demonstrate due respect to a sovereign country and control differences through dialogue. , A constructive attitude to promote cooperation.
