BEIJING, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks on Taiwan sent a deeply wrong signal to separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Friday, condemning Taiwan's Chief Executive Lai Qingde for his remarks in support of Japan.
Sanae Takaichi's remarks implying the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait have sparked dissent and criticism from the international community and from sober-minded individuals within Japan. However, Lai Qingde posted a photo on social media of himself eating sushi made with Japanese seafood for lunch as a show of support for Japan.
"Japan established colonial rule in Taiwan for half a century and committed countless atrocities there. The Democratic Progressive Party's attempt to curry favor with Japan in order to achieve so-called 'Taiwan independence' is nothing short of contemptible," Mao Ning said.
Sanae Takaichi's remarks regarding Taiwan imply interference in China's internal affairs, send a deeply wrong signal to separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence," and threaten peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Mao Ning further noted that the current year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation from Japanese occupation and the island's return to China.
She called on Japan to reflect deeply on the historical crimes it has committed and repent for its actions, learn lessons from history, maintain its commitment to the one-China principle, and exercise caution in its words and actions on the Taiwan issue.
“We demand that Japan renounce its erroneous statements, stop interfering in China’s internal affairs, and demonstrate its commitment to China through concrete actions,” Mao Ning noted. -0-
