Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying hosted a regular press conference on August 4.

  A reporter asked: It is reported that State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi canceled the scheduled meeting this afternoon with Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi Masaru during his attendance at the series of foreign ministers' meetings on East Asia cooperation. What is China's consideration?

  Hua Chunying: Japan, together with the G7 countries and the European Union, issued a joint statement unreasonably accusing China, confounding right and wrong, and showing the US's violation of China's sovereignty.

Japan bears historical guilt on the Taiwan issue and has no right to make irresponsible remarks on Taiwan-related issues.
