Chinese Ambassador to Japan Wu Jianghao on Sunday urged Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to immediately retract her erroneous remarks regarding China's Taiwan region and take concrete actions to correct the mistakes.
Wu made the call in an article titled "Resolutely upholds one-China principle and safeguards post-war international order", which was published in The People's Daily.
Citing multiple international documents such as the Japanese Instrument of Surrender in 1945 and the 1972 Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, Wu slammed Takaichi for seriously undermining international law, the basic norms governing international relations, the post-World War II international order and fundamentally eroding the political foundation of China-Japan relations.
The Chinese ambassador said that the only right thing for Japan to do is to earnestly abide by the political commitments it has repeatedly made over the past decades, stop undermining the post-World War II international order, immediately retract its erroneous remarks and take concrete actions to correct the mistakes.
Wu also noted that any sophistry and cunning words are self-deception, any attempt to evade responsibility will never succeed, and any action that exacerbates the mistakes will only result in more serious consequences.
