Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Some U.S. senators criticize China for pressuring Japan.

On December 19th, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jia Kun, chaired a routine press conference. A journalist from a Japanese television station asked about the resolution submitted by certain US senators expressing support for Japan and accusing China of "imposing economic and military pressure on Japan." What is the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to this? Guo Jia Kun stated that upholding the achievements of the victory in World War II and defending the post-war international order is a common responsibility of the international community, including China and the United States. Justice and morality are in people's hearts. It should be pointed out that the fallacies of Prime Minister Koizumi have not only sparked strong indignation among the Chinese people, but also many objective and rational voices of opposition and criticism from within Japan, the US strategic community, and the international public opinion arena. The Japanese side should seriously listen and reflect, rather than engaging in international cunning, lobbying, shifting blames, and seeking allies. "We once again urge the Japanese side to sincerely reflect on and correct their mistakes, honestly withdraw the erroneous statement of Prime Minister Koizumi, and accurately and fully explain Japan's political commitments on the Taiwan issue in the four political documents between China and Japan, and fulfill the obligations of the defeated country as stipulated in international agreements such as the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation, and Japan's Instrument of Surrender," said Guo Jia Kun.
