UN, January 27 /Xinhua/ — Japan must reflect on its historical misdeeds and correct its mistakes, China's Permanent Representative to the UN, Fu Cong, said Monday at the Security Council's open debate on international legal order.
Fu Tsung noted that the victory in World War II protected the moral foundations of humanity and laid the foundation for the modern system of international law.
"However, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently decided to go against the grain of history," the Chinese diplomat stated, noting that, in a speech to the Japanese parliament, she linked Chinese Taiwan to a so-called "existential threat to Japan" and sent the wrong signal by implying possible Japanese military intervention in the Taiwan issue. He emphasized that Sanae Takaichi also refused to retract her erroneous statements.
Taiwan's return to China is a result of victory in World War II and an integral part of the post-war international order, Fu Tsung said. He asserted that this indisputable fact has been politically confirmed and has an irrefutable historical and legal basis.
As Fu Cong emphasized, Sanae Takaichi's absurd remarks constitute gross interference in China's internal affairs, violate the international obligations that Japan, as a defeated country, must abide by, openly challenge the international order based on international law, and seriously violate the basic norms of international relations enshrined in the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
“We urge Japan to acknowledge its history, acknowledge its wrongdoings and correct its mistakes, and take concrete measures to responsibly address the concerns of the international community,” said China’s Permanent Representative to the UN.
