With such egregious behavior from Sanae Takaichi, how can the international community trust Japan’s professed commitment to peaceful development? How can we trust Japan to uphold fairness and justice? How can we trust Japan to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security?
If Japan dares to attempt an armed intervention in the cross-Strait situation, it would be an act of aggression and definitely be met with a firm response from China. We will exercise our right to self-defence under the UN Charter and international law and resolutely defend China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
