On December 8, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference. CCTV reporter at the general station asked: According to reports, on December 3, Liberal Democratic Party Vice President Taro Aso affirmed Takaichi's attitude in response to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks about Taiwan. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Guo Jiakun said that the Japanese politician's remarks reflect that Prime Minister Takaichi and the Japanese right-wing forces behind him are still misjudging the situation, are unrepentant, are deaf to domestic and foreign criticism, downplay acts that interfere in other countries' internal affairs and threaten other countries by force, disregarding right and wrong, and show no minimum respect for international law and the basic rules of international relations. They are trying to break through the post-war international order and inspire Japan's militarism. Asian neighbors and the international community should be highly wary of this. What needs to be pointed out is that this act of provoking China as a way of gaining attention and harvesting public opinion is bad in nature and very dangerous. We urge Japan to seriously reflect on its repentance, honestly withdraw from Prime Minister Takaichi's fallacy, not continue to play with fire, and not go further and further along the wrong path.
