US EditionChina Urges Japan PM to Retract 'Egregious' Remarks on Taiwan
China condemned Japan's prime minister for Taiwan remarks and warned of military retaliation if Japan intervenes, amid heightened tensions and a G7 statement opposing force in the Taiwan Strait.
- On Nov 13 in Beijing, China's foreign ministry demanded Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi retract Taiwan remarks and warned Tokyo would face consequences, with Lin Jian calling the comments crude interference.
- Last week in parliament, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi warned a Chinese attack on Taiwan could threaten Japan's survival and might prompt a military response, while pushing to amend Japan's pacifist constitution.
- State-Run media and a CCTV account on Nov 12 vilified Takaichi as a troublemaker, while Xue Jian, China's consul-general in Osaka, shared inflammatory posts prompting Tokyo political figures to call for his expulsion.
- Lin Jian warned intervention would prompt a decisive Chinese response, saying `China strongly opposes and will never accept them` and any military action would be treated as aggression.
- On Wednesday, the G7 voiced concern over Beijing's military build-up and opposed unilateral changes to the Taiwan Strait status quo as Japan hosts major U.S. military bases and China launched the carrier Fujian and tested People's Liberation Army landing barges.
