Beijing, December 3 (Xinhua) — Mainland China calls on Japan to reflect deeply on its historical culpability and retract its erroneous statements, State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhang Han said on Wednesday.
"The Japanese side should stop interfering in China's internal affairs, strictly adhere to the one-China principle, and fulfill its political commitments to China through concrete actions," Zhang Han said, speaking at a regular departmental press conference.
Zhang Han emphasized that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks regarding Taiwan constitute interference in China's internal affairs, sending a false signal to separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence," and undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region.
Noting that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the liberation of Taiwan from Japanese occupation and the return of the island to China, as well as the 82nd anniversary of the issuance of the Cairo Declaration, Zhang Han said that a number of international legal documents, including the Cairo Declaration, have clearly affirmed China's sovereignty over Taiwan from the perspective of international law.
“Compliance with relevant regulations is an obligation under international law that Japan must assume,” she added.
"Taiwan is Chinese Taiwan. Taiwan has never been a state and never will be," she emphasized. "All compatriots on both sides of the Strait belong to the Chinese nation and are all Chinese. Taiwan's future can only be decided jointly by the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots," Zhang Han concluded. -0-
