BEIJING, November 12 (Xinhua) — China has called on Japan to stop sending false signals to separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular ministry press conference on Wednesday.

The Japanese government on Tuesday reportedly awarded the medal to the so-called former "Taiwan representative to Japan" Xie Changting.

When asked to comment on this event by journalists, Guo Jiakun noted that China strongly opposes the Japanese government's decision to award medals to those who advocate "Taiwan independence," and this was another mistake by the Japanese side on issues related to Taiwan.

He noted that the Taiwan issue lies at the core of China's core interests and affects the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations and trust in Japan, and is a red line that cannot be crossed.

Noting that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in 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 aggression and the return of the island to China, Guo Jiakun said that China solemnly calls on Japan to deeply repent for the historical crimes it has committed, adhere to the relevant principles and spirit enshrined in the Four Sino-Japanese Political Documents, and demonstrate its commitment to the one-China principle through practical actions, exercise caution in its words and deeds on the Taiwan issue, and stop sending any false signals to separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence." -0-
