China delivered one of its strongest public warnings to Japan in years, accusing Tokyo of deliberately distorting World War II history, whitewashing past aggression, and refusing to acknowledge the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation that affirmed Taiwan’s return to China. In a fiery press briefing, Beijing blasted Japan for “ambiguous” statements on Taiwan, warned against its accelerating military build-up, and condemned the addition of new exhibits claiming sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. China said Japan is “trying to break free from its pacifist constitution” and urged Tokyo to “retract its erroneous remarks” and stop challenging the post-war international order. #china #japan #taiwan #apt

02:09and make greater contribution to promoting the strong and steady development of China-EU relations,
02:15upholding multilateralism, and safeguarding world peace, stability, and prosperity.
02:23Next one, please.
02:29Japanese Prime Minister Sanai Takechi said previously that having renounced all rights and claims under the Treaty of San Francisco,
02:41we are not in a position to recognize Taiwan's legal status.
02:45Japan's Foreign Minister, when asked about whether it means that Japan does not recognize China's sovereignty over Taiwan,
02:51repeated what's said in the Treaty of San Francisco,
02:53and said that our government's basic position on Taiwan is as stated in the 1972 joint statement,
02:59and nothing more and nothing less, what's our comment?
03:02The Japanese side has been ambiguous on its position concerning the Taiwan question.
03:10They deliberately chose not to mention the Cairo Declaration,
03:15the Potsdam Proclamation, and Japanese instrument of surrender that stated in explicit terms
03:19that Taiwan shall be restored to China.
03:22The Japanese side kept sidestepping the issue by just repeating that its position remains unchanged
03:42without fully articulating what the position is.
03:46What the Japanese side deliberately chose not to mention is probably not only its position on the Taiwan question.
03:57Today marks the 82nd anniversary of the Cairo Declaration.
04:01Besides the declaration, a series of international legal treaties and instruments stipulate China's sovereignty over Taiwan
04:08and are important outcomes of the world's anti-fascist war,
04:13which constitutes an integral part of the post-war international order.
04:20Observing relevant provisions is the obligation that the Japanese side must fulfill under international law
04:27The Japanese side now says nothing about the above-mentioned instruments with full effect under international law,
04:42but keeps bringing up a treaty that was signed with the exclusion of Asian countries,
04:48especially China, who has suffered the most from Japan's colonial rule.
04:53This is a disregard for the painful memory of Japan's militarist aggression,
04:58a distortion of the history of and truths behind the world's anti-fascist war,
05:04and a blatant challenge to the United Nations authority and the post-war international order.
05:12In recent years, Japan has been drastically readjusting its security policy,
05:18increasing defense spending year after year,
05:20and planning to revise its three non-nuclear principles.
05:23Certain forces in Japan are trying every means to break free from the pacifist constitution
05:28and attempt to turn their back to Japan's obligations
05:32as a defeated country stipulated in international law.
05:36They have never, ever truly taken lessons from history,
05:41never faced up to or done so certain about Japan's untold war crimes,
05:47and never taken real actions to counter the reviving militarism.
05:54Rather, they attempt to whitewash and deliberately make no specific mention of the aggression
06:01to let the world forget that history and relax their restrictions.
06:07Such kind of approach will not deceive people around the world.
06:11The course of history must not be reversed,
06:16and the bottom line of peace must not be crossed.
06:20Japan prevaricated to downplay the situation while continuing down the wrong path.
06:26China would absolutely not accept that.
06:29On major issues of right and wrong,
06:32Japan should harbor no illusion
06:35that somehow the issue would rob itself.
06:39We urge the Japanese side to learn from history,
06:43do self-searching,
06:44take seriously what it has heard from the Chinese side,
06:48earnestly retract the erroneous remarks,
06:50and take practical steps
06:52to honor its political commitments to China.
06:55Next one, please.
07:08A question from Reuters.
07:09I just wanted to...
07:10路透社,
07:12關於馬克龍將訪華,
07:17習近平主席一般只在北京接見外國領導人,
07:24那麼他陪馬克龍去成都,
07:26有什麼重要意義?
07:29China has maintained some communication and exchanges with France.
07:34China touches great importance
07:37to maintaining communication on important global issues.
07:42On a specific visit,
07:44we will release information at time.
07:47Please stay tuned.
07:50Next one, please.
07:54The Japanese government recently added three sets of so-called records
08:04in its National Museum of Territory and Sovereignty in Tokyo
08:07as so-called evidence to back Japan's illegal claims over Diao Yudau.
08:11What is China's comment?
08:14Diao Yudau and its affiliated islands
08:16have been China's territory since ancient times.
08:19China's sovereignty over Diao Yudau has clear-cut historical evidence
08:24and solid legal basis.
08:27Proofs in this regard are numerous
08:29and can be found even in Japan's diplomatic records,
08:33maps, and articles of historians.
08:37The so-called historical records
08:38that Japan made so much efforts to patch up
08:41were quoted out of context and not convincing at all
08:45and this only proves that Japan's illegal claims do not hold water.
08:52Next one, please.
08:53Thank you, Reuters.
09:01This is not related to foreign affairs.
09:24I'd refer you to the government of the Hong Kong SAR.
