TOKYO, April 1 (Xinhua) — Japan's opposition Democratic People's Party chairman Yuichiro Tamaki said the country's government should apologize to China for the forced entry of an armed Self-Defense Forces officer into the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, the politician called the incident a serious one that should never have happened, calling on the government to take full responsibility for it.
Yuichiro Tamaki emphasized that Japan failed to fulfill its obligations to ensure the security of the Chinese diplomatic mission and therefore must issue an official apology.
On March 24, 23-year-old Second Lieutenant Kodai Murata of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, armed with a knife, climbed over the wall into the Chinese Embassy compound in Tokyo.
The incident has sparked widespread concern due to its seriousness and potential consequences. For now, the Japanese government has limited itself to calling the incident "regrettable." This stance has met with criticism.
