On May 11, according to the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference on May 10, presided over by spokesperson Lin Jian.
A reporter asked, according to reports, "Taiwan's representative to Japan" Hsieh Changting said that 37 Japanese members of parliament were scheduled to attend the so-called "presidential inauguration ceremony" on May 20. What's your comment on this?
Lin Jian said that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China. Taiwan has never been a country and there is no "president".
Lin Jian pointed out that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs. In the Sino Japanese Joint Statement, Japan made a clear commitment that "the Japanese government recognizes the Government of the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate government of China. The Government of the People's Republic of China reiterates that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of the People's Republic of China. The Japanese government fully understands and respects this position of the Chinese government, and adheres to the position of Article 8 of the Potsdam Proclamation. " Article 8 of the Potsdam Proclamation clearly stipulates that the conditions of the Cairo Declaration will be implemented. The main content of the Cairo Declaration is to return China's territory stolen by Japan to China. Japan has also made solemn commitments to China on the Taiwan issue many times, including not engaging in "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan", not supporting "Taiwan independence", and only maintaining non-governmental and regional exchanges with Taiwan. This is the historical longitude and latitude, which is the position and principle that Japan must follow.
Lin Jian stressed that he seriously urged Japan to abide by the relevant principles and spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, and to demonstrate its commitment to the one China principle with practical actions. It should not condone and support the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence" in any form, and earnestly safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait rather than the contrary. Advise the DPP authorities that it is impossible to win the challenge of seeking "independence" in conjunction with external forces, and the betrayal of national interests will inevitably be liquidated by history.
