China has called on Japan to withdraw what it calls "erroneous remarks" about Taiwan made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, following Japan's recent election results. The demand comes as tensions over cross-strait relations take center stage in Asia this week. 🌏🚨
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized Monday that Taiwan is a "core interest" for China, urging Japan to "demonstrate sincerity" in maintaining diplomatic foundations. The statement followed Sunday's general election, where Japan's ruling coalition secured a strong parliamentary majority. 📊🗳️
While acknowledging elections as Japan's internal affair, Lin highlighted "deep-seated structural issues" reflected in the vote that merit global attention. Analysts suggest the remarks signal China's heightened sensitivity to international discourse on Taiwan amid evolving regional dynamics. 🔍💡
