China's UN envoy Fu Cong delivered a powerful message yesterday, urging Japan to reflect on its wartime past and uphold commitments on Taiwan during a high-profile UN General Assembly meeting marking the International Day Against Colonialism. 🔥
Speaking at the December 18 plenary session, Fu emphasized that colonial-era wounds still affect global politics today. He called on Japan – as a WWII defeated nation – to 'do deep soul-searching' regarding historical crimes and stop 'provocative actions' challenging China's sovereignty over the Taiwan region. 🚨
The diplomat specifically demanded Tokyo retract recent statements perceived as supporting Taiwan independence movements, reminding audiences that 'cross-strait ties remain one of China's core interests.' 🇨🇳
This clash comes as nations worldwide reassess colonial histories – from museum artifact disputes to climate justice debates. Fu's speech highlighted how 2025's decolonization conversations now directly shape Asia-Pacific geopolitics. 💡
