China urges Japan to be cautious in its words and actions regarding the Taiwan question, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press briefing in Beijing on Monday.
Guo's remarks came after he was asked to respond to a question on the head of Taiwan's so-called foreign affairs department making a trip to Japan and meeting with several Japanese politicians, including former Japanese Minister of Economic Security Sanae Takaichi and LDP Youth Division Head Nakasone Yasutaka.
"Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory. The Taiwan question is at the core of China's core interests, and bears on the political foundation of China-Japan relations and basic trust between the two countries," Guo underlined.
"We urge Japan to abide by the principles in the four political documents between China and Japan, act on its solemn commitment, deeply reflect on and learn lessons from history, act all the more prudently on the Taiwan question, not to harm China’s sovereignty in any way and not to send any wrong signals to 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces. Japan should never underestimate the firm resolve, will and ability of the Chinese people to safeguard sovereignty and territorial integrity," Guo said.
