China has issued a stern warning to Japan over the Taiwan issue, calling it a \"red line\" that cannot be crossed. 🇨🇳🇯🇵 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory, urging Tokyo to strictly adhere to the One-China principle during a press briefing Wednesday.
\"Certain Japanese politicians should remember history,\" Lin said, referencing Japan's colonial rule over Taiwan from 1895 to 1945. He stressed that official interactions between countries recognizing Beijing and Taiwan would face \"firm opposition\" from China.
The remarks come amid rising tensions, with Beijing accusing Taiwan's DPP authorities of \"colluding with external forces\" to pursue independence. 🌏 Lin warned that such efforts are \"doomed to fail,\" while reaffirming cross-strait unity as central to China-Japan relations.
