On June 10, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference.

A reporter asked a question. According to reports, on June 9, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga stated in a debate with the opposition party leaders that the anti-epidemic measures of Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan strictly restrict citizens' private rights.

what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

  In this regard, Wang Wenbin said that I have taken note of relevant reports.

Japanese leaders have openly called Taiwan a so-called country, seriously violating the principles of the four political documents including the China-Japan Joint Declaration, and seriously violating Japan’s solemn promise to "not regard Taiwan as a country" made many times so far.

China expresses its strong dissatisfaction with Japan's erroneous remarks, and has lodged solemn representations with Japan, demanding that Japan immediately make clear clarifications to eliminate the bad effects that have already caused, and to ensure that such situations do not occur again.

  Wang Wenbin emphasized that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory.

The Taiwan issue concerns the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations, the basic faith between the two countries, and the international rule of law and justice.

We seriously urge the Japanese side to earnestly keep its promises on the Taiwan issue, be cautious in words and deeds, and not in any way damage China's sovereignty, and not send wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces in any way.
