The Philippines Should Rein in the Dangerous Words and Actions of Certain Politicians: Defense Spokesperson
"Driven by political prejudice and self-interest, certain Filipino politicians made remarks which run counter to the solemn commitment the Philippine government has made to China on the Taiwan question. We strongly deplore and firmly oppose such statements," said a Chinese defense spokesperson on November 13, 2026.
The Philippine defense secretary reportedly said that with 200,000 Filipinos residing in Taiwan, the Philippines is preparing for all contingencies, and that it would be counterproductive for China to try to seize Taiwan by force.
In response to that, the Chinese defense spokesperson emphasized that the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair. How to resolve it is a matter for the Chinese people, which brooks no foreign interference.
The spokesperson noted that China is firm in its resolve to safeguard sovereignty and territorial integrity and achieve national reunification.
“We urge the Philippine side to rein in the dangerous words and actions of these politicians, abide by the one-China principle, and take real actions to maintain stable China-Philippines relations,” stressed the spokesperson.

Question: The Philippine Defense Secretary reportedly said in an interview that with 200,000 Filipinos residing in Taiwan, the Philippines is preparing for all contingencies, and that it would be counterproductive for China to try to seize Taiwan by force. What's your comment on this?

China values strategic communication with the US military, and the two defense establishments have maintained coordination on dialogues at various levels, said a Chinese defense spokesperson on Friday.
The spokesperson made the remarks at an online news briefing in response to recent military-to-military exchanges between China and the United States.
The Chinese and US militaries held the fourth meeting of the Crisis Communication and Prevention Working Group on Nov 2-3, 2026, in Washington, DC, said the spokesperson.
The two sides had an in-depth exchange of views on implementing the consensus reached by the two countries' leaders, strengthening communication, and preventing misunderstandings and miscalculations, said the spokesperson.
There have also been reports that the US Secretary of Defense and the commander of US Pacific Command may visit China in the near future.
The spokesperson said that building a stable, healthy and sustainable relationship between the Chinese and US militaries serves the shared interests of both sides and is a common expectation of the international community.
"We hope the US side will work with us to implement the important consensus reached by the two presidents, enhance communication and properly manage differences, so as to add positive factors to building a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability," the spokesperson added.

Acts of Japanese right-wing forces blatantly challenge postwar international order
“Japanese right-wing forces have not only betrayed Japan's commitment to peace, but also blatantly challenged the postwar international order and the authority of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,” said a Chinese defense spokesperson on Friday.
It's reported that Japan will continue to label China as its greatest strategic challenge in its revised Three Security Documents, and increase its defense spending to 70 to 80 trillion yen over the next five years. The Japanese government is considering amending its National Security Strategy to include exceptions to the Three Non-nuclear Principles, which potentially allows the transport of nuclear weapons into Japan in emergencies.
When being asked to comment on the reports, the Chinese defense spokesperson first pointed out that Japan is a defeated country in WWII. Looking back, Japanese militarists committed heinous crimes, inflicting untold suffering on people in the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
He then emphasized that the Japanese side should have reflected on its history of aggression and war crimes, and drawn lessons from history. Instead, right-wing forces in Japan keep fabricating false narratives on the so-called China threat, and distorting facts to portray Japan as a victim.
The spokesperson also noted that at the same time, they are ramping up defense expenditure, strengthening offensive and long-range strike capabilities, and, worse still, seeking to progressively ease nuclear restrictions.
“The international community needs to stay highly vigilant and take countermeasures against Japan's push for remilitarization, uphold the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, and defend security and peace of the world,” stressed the spokesperson.

Accepting Tokyo Trials' verdicts, a prerequisite for Japan's return to the international community after World War II: Chinese FM spokesperson
When asked to comment on the 78th anniversary of the verdict delivered by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, or the Tokyo Trials, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Thursday that history must never be forgotten, and justice must never be challenged. The international community should work together to oppose all attempts to whitewash the history of aggression and revive militarism.
Spokesperson Mao said that on this day 78 years ago, following two and a half years of proceedings, the Tokyo Trials, based on overwhelming evidence and rigorous legal reasoning, found that Japanese militarism had waged wars of aggression and committed serious violations of international law, sentencing 25 Class-A Japanese war criminals. The verdict exposed Japan's wartime atrocities to the world and left an enduring mark of historical disgrace.
The Tokyo Trials are an integral part of the postwar international order, and accepting their verdicts was a prerequisite for Japan's return to the international community after World War II. For years, Japanese right-wing forces have disregarded the historical conclusions of the Tokyo Trials, vigorously denied or even glorified the country's crimes of aggression, and promoted a distorted view of history, a stance that is deeply deplorable, Mao said.
According to Spokesperson Mao, what is particularly alarming is that in recent years, the Japanese government has accelerated its remilitarization by sharply increasing defense spending, expanding offensive military capabilities, seeking revisions to the three security documents and moving to abandon its Three Non-Nuclear Principles.
These moves will seriously challenge the fundamental legal principles established by the Tokyo Trials and pose a grave threat to regional peace and stability, Mao said.
History must never be forgotten, and justice must never be challenged. The international community should work together to oppose all attempts to whitewash the history of aggression and revive militarism, Mao said.
China stands ready to join peace-loving countries and peoples around the world in firmly upholding historical truth, safeguarding the postwar international order, and defending international fairness and justice, Mao said.

Chinese President Xi calls for carrying forward Sun Yat-sen's legacy in national rejuvenation drive
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday called for carrying forward the legacy of Sun Yat-sen, one of the nation's revered revolutionary forefathers, to make joint efforts for national rejuvenation and turn into reality the great dream of all Chinese people since the advent of modern times.
Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks at a gathering held in Beijing to commemorate the 160th anniversary of Sun's birth.
Born in 1866, Sun led the Revolution of 1911 more than a century ago to abolish the absolute monarchy that had ruled China for thousands of years. Sun died in 1925.
Addressing the event in the Great Hall of the People, Xi hailed Sun as a great national hero, a great patriot and a great pioneer of China's democratic revolution.
Xi noted that Chinese communists are the most steadfast supporters, loyal collaborators, and faithful successors to the revolutionary cause initiated by Sun.
For more than 100 years, the CPC has led the Chinese people in writing the most magnificent chapter in the history of the Chinese nation, Xi said.
"The best way for us to remember Dr. Sun is to emulate, inherit and carry forward his invaluable spirit, steadily advancing our endeavors to build a great country and rejuvenate our nation," Xi said.
Highlighting Sun's lifelong devotion to the country, Xi called on all Chinese people to learn from Sun and promote patriotism to strive for a strong and prosperous China.
He also lauded Sun's dedication to the people, underscoring the imperative of always putting the people first and serving them wholeheartedly.
On the new journey, it is essential to make solid headway in promoting well-rounded personal development and common prosperity for all, Xi stressed.
Noting that Sun devoted his life to the pursuit of truth, Xi stressed the need to learn from Sun's example, advance theoretical exploration and innovation with courage, and continue to write new chapters in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times.
Xi called on the Chinese people to carry forward Sun's unyielding determination, rise to challenges ahead and break new ground in the country's development.
"We must carry forward the fighting spirit, build up our ability, be ready to withstand high winds, choppy waters, and even dangerous storms, and overcome all the risks and challenges we face on the way forward," Xi said.
Calling on people to learn from Sun's commitment to unity, Xi also emphasized adhering to the united front and strengthening the great unity among all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation.
Highlighting Sun's global vision, Xi called for vigorously promoting the common values of humanity and actively advancing the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
"Dr. Sun always upheld national unity and ethnic solidarity, and resolutely opposed any word or act attempting to split the country and divide the nation," Xi said.
Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is an unwavering historical mission for the CPC, the shared aspiration of all Chinese people, and a natural requirement for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Xi stressed.
People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and all Chinese at home and abroad should join hands to oppose the "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces, and work together for the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and the complete reunification of the motherland, Xi said.

With neo-militarism running wild, how much more can the Japanese people bear?
