BEIJING, July 28 (Xinhua) — China urges Japan not to send wrong signals to separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Monday.
The diplomat made the statement at a regular press briefing, commenting on a report that the head of Taiwan's so-called Foreign Affairs Department, Lin Jialong, recently made a "private" trip to Japan and met with Japanese politicians.
The Chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolutely opposes Japan's connivance in allowing Lin Jialong to make a so-called "private" visit to the country, the official said. "We have made stern representations to the Japanese side in Beijing and Tokyo and expressed our firm protest," Guo Jiakun added.
Recalling that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, he stressed that the Taiwan question lies at the center of China's fundamental interests, affects the political basis of Sino-Japanese relations and the fundamental trust between the two countries.
Guo Jiakun pointed out that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of 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. According to him, Japan bears grave historical responsibility to the Chinese people for its colonial rule over Taiwan that lasted for half a century.
China calls on the Japanese side to strictly adhere to the spirit of the four China-Japan political documents and the solemn commitments they made, deeply reflect on history and draw lessons, and be cautious in its remarks and actions on the Taiwan issue, the spokesperson said.
The Japanese side should never undermine China's sovereignty in any form, send wrong signals to separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence," or underestimate the firm determination, unwavering will and mighty strength of the Chinese people in safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, Guo Jiakun concluded. –0–
