BEIJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — China urges Japan to deeply reflect on history, learn from it, exercise restraint on the Taiwan issue, refrain from undermining China's sovereignty in any form, and avoid sending wrong signals to separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence," Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said Thursday.
Lin Jian made the statement in response to media reports that, according to the Japanese government, Chinese Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Han Jun had cancelled his planned visit to Japan, as well as analysts who linked the move to a visit to Japan by the head of Taiwan's so-called Foreign Affairs Department, Lin Jialong.
"As for the specific reasons for the postponement of Minister Han Jun's visit to Japan, you should contact the relevant departments," Lin Jian said, adding that China remains open to maintaining contacts with Japan at various levels.
The official said that if the Japanese side really intends to establish contacts with China, it should take concrete actions to actually adhere to the one-China principle, uphold the political foundation of China-Japan relations, implement the spirit of the four China-Japan political documents and the statement on comprehensively advancing the strategic and mutually beneficial China-Japan relations, rather than saying one thing and doing another.
Commenting on Lin Jialong's visit to Japan, Lin Jian stressed that by allowing him to make the so-called "personal trip," Japan had actually provided a platform for separatist activities by forces advocating for "Taiwan independence," grossly violated the fundamental norms of international relations and the principles of the four Sino-Japanese political documents, and sent an extremely wrong signal. –0–
