Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on December 11. Guo Jiakun said that Prime Minister Takaichi's erroneous remarks about Taiwan have not only aroused strong indignation among the Chinese people, but there are also more and more objective and rational voices of opposition and criticism within Japan. I noticed that recently, Okamoto Atsushi, the former editor-in-chief of “The World” magazine and the former president of Iwanami Shoten, said that Prime Minister Takaichi frequently talks about conversations, but real dialogue starts with respecting each other and understanding each other on an equal footing. Takaichi's attitude is that there is no way to have a conversation at all. This statement shows the essence of the problem.
