Beijing says Takaichi’s ‘Taiwan’ remark ‘crossed a red line’

The Foreign Minister of Beijing, Wang Yi, launched a verbal attack on Tokyo. The minister said the remarks of the new Japanese Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, "crossed a line". He also said that China must “resolutely respond” to the comments to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and defend its post-war achievements.

“It is shocking that Japan’s current leader has publicly sent the wrong signal of attempting military intervention in the Taiwan issue, said things that shouldn’t have been said, and crossed a red line that should not have been touched,” Wang said in a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday.

“This is not only to safeguard China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also to defend the post-war achievements won with blood and lives, and to uphold international justice and human conscience," the minister added.
