China News Service, Beijing, July 13 (Reporter Huang Yuqin) In response to Japan’s Taiwan-related content in the "Defense White Paper", Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian stated at a regular press conference on the 13th that Taiwan is Chinese territory and the Taiwan issue is pure It is China's internal affairs, and China will never allow any country to intervene in the Taiwan issue in any way.
A reporter asked that Japan’s “Defense White Paper” on Tuesday mentioned the importance of stability in Taiwan’s surroundings for the first time in the report. How does China respond to this?
Zhao Lijian said that during this period of time, the Japanese side has repeatedly accused China of arguing, violently interfered in China’s internal affairs, unreasonably accused China of normal national defense construction and military activities, made irresponsible remarks on China’s legitimate maritime activities, and exaggerated the so-called “China threat”. It is extremely wrong and irresponsible, and China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to it.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that Taiwan is Chinese territory and the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs. China will never allow any country to intervene in the Taiwan issue in any way.
China must be reunified and must be reunified. China's complete reunification is most conducive to regional peace and stability.
He further pointed out that the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands are an inalienable part of China's territory, and that China's patrol law enforcement activities in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands are the exercise of its own inherent rights and are legitimate.
The Maritime Police Law is a routine domestic legislation that is not targeted at a specific country and fully conforms to international law and international practice.
In fact, many countries, including Japan, have enacted and implemented similar laws for a long time, and Japan’s "lie diplomacy" and "double standards" can be stopped.
The Indo-Pacific strategy aims to promote group confrontation. It is to create a small circle of geographical competition. It is the restoration of the Cold War mentality and the retrogression of history. It should be swept into the garbage dump.
“The Japanese side sings about the freedom and openness of the Pacific Ocean. Can it first solve the problem of its attempts to engage in the “free discharge” of nuclear-contaminated water in the Pacific Ocean?” Zhao Lijian said, “We once again urge the Japanese side to correct its mentality and show that it is right. China’s respect for sovereignty and sincerity in maintaining regional peace and stability.” (End)
