Beijing, November 14 (Xinhua) — Japan and its current leader have no right to make irresponsible statements regarding the Taiwan issue, let alone make threats or attempt to obstruct China's reunification, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Friday.
Reaffirming that Taiwan is China's sacred territory, the Taiwan question is China's internal affair, and its resolution and the achievement of China's complete reunification are the common aspirations of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, Chen Binhua emphasized that the resolution of this issue is the sole prerogative of the Chinese people and does not allow the interference of any external forces.
Earlier, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated that "mainland China's use of force on Taiwan" could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan. These statements implied the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait. Despite China's strong representations and protests, Takaichi refused to retract her statement.
Speaking about the Japanese side, Chen Binhua recalled the crimes committed by Japan against the Chinese people in Taiwan, including half a century of brutal colonial rule on the island.
The official said Sanae Takaichi's unfounded statements are aimed at interfering in cross-strait affairs, are an attempt to deny China's victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and challenge the post-war international order.
"The Chinese government and people will never accept, tolerate, or allow this," the official said, demanding that Japan immediately correct its mistakes and withdraw its statement, or face all the consequences that follow.
Chen Binhua also warned that if Japan dared to resort to force to interfere in the Taiwan issue, it would face a "crushing defeat."
