Beijing, December 15 (Xinhua) — China firmly opposes the appointment of Shigeru Iwasaki, former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, as a so-called "political adviser" to the Taiwan administration. China has repeatedly made serious representations to Japan in this regard and has taken retaliatory measures against Iwasaki, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated on Monday.

Noting that the Taiwan issue is at the core of China's interests and represents a red line that must not be crossed, Guo Jiakun said Shigeru Iwasaki is following the wrong path by colluding with separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence" and committing provocations.

The Chinese diplomat emphasized that Shigeru Iwasaki's actions constitute a serious violation of the one-China principle and the spirit of the Four Sino-Japanese Political Documents, as well as gross interference in China's internal affairs and an encroachment on the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In response to his malicious actions, China, in accordance with the PRC Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, announced in a decree of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs retaliatory measures against Shigeru Iwasaki for his provocations and collusion with separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence," the official spokesperson of the PRC Foreign Ministry added. -0-

BEIJING, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin on Monday called on the United States to reconsider its strategic perception of China, stop sending wrong signals to separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence," and refrain from escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait.

Jiang Bin made the statement in response to a question from reporters about the updated version of the US National Security Strategy document, which states that the US does not support any unilateral actions aimed at changing the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.

The recently passed US National Defense Authorization Act by the US House of Representatives also attempts to intervene in Taiwan-related issues, as do the statements made earlier by the US Secretary of Defense.

"There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China. This is an indisputable historical and legal fact, as well as the unchangeable status quo in the Taiwan Strait," said Jiang Bin.

He noted that the resolution of the Taiwan issue is an internal matter for China that does not allow any outside interference, and that any attempt to use Taiwan to contain China is doomed to failure. -0-

BEIJING, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) — The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee expressed firm support on Monday for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) authorities' legal ruling on the case of Li Zhiying.

The High Court of South Africa on Monday found Lee Zhiying, the instigator of the anti-China unrest in Hong Kong, guilty of two counts of conspiring to collaborate with external forces and one count of conspiring to publish inflammatory material.

Li Zhiying was the main instigator and participant in a series of anti-China protests in Hong Kong and was behind an attempt to stage a "color revolution" there, according to a comment posted by the office on its social media account after the court ruling.

It notes that over a long period of time, Li Zhiying, under the protection of foreign countries and external forces, has committed all sorts of evil deeds at every opportunity, which have seriously undermined the principles underlying the “one country, two systems” policy, posed a serious threat to national security, caused serious harm to the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and caused significant damage to the interests and well-being of local residents.

During the trial, a large body of evidence was presented that clearly demonstrated that Li Zhiying engaged in activities detrimental to national security, played a key role in the unrest that engulfed Hong Kong, and acted as a pawn of external forces, the office said.

The Office emphasized that protecting national sovereignty, security, and development interests is the highest principle of the "one country, two systems" policy, adding that the SARS bears constitutional responsibility for ensuring national security.

In today's Hong Kong, the legal system and law enforcement mechanisms for ensuring national security are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the office stated, emphasizing that the time when external forces and anti-China destabilizing elements could act with impunity is gone forever.

They warned that any person or organization that dares to challenge laws guaranteeing national security or engage in activities that pose a threat to national security will inevitably be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

The office also made it clear that pressure from external forces and interference in national security cases, or even threats of sanctions against government officials and judicial personnel of the HKSAR, will not shake the HKSAR's firm resolve to safeguard national security. -0-
