China Fires Back at Japan Over Taiwan Remarks 🚨 Reunification ‘Non-Negotiable’

On November 13, 2025, the Chinese mainland fired back at Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s surprising comments about the Taiwan region. At a regular briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian made it clear that China treats sovereignty and territorial integrity as red lines – and there’s no room for negotiation. 🚨

Lin Jian’s strong message came after Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned Japanese Ambassador Kenji Kanasugi to lodge a formal protest over Takaichi’s remarks, which hinted at possible military involvement in the Taiwan Strait. According to Lin, those comments ‘grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs, violated international law and the basic norms of international relations, and damaged the post-WWII international order.’

He added that ignoring the one-China principle and the guiding spirit of the four China-Japan political documents not only shakes the foundation of bilateral ties but also hurts the feelings of over 1.4 billion people in the Chinese mainland.

Despite China’s emphasis on peace 🤝 and good faith, Lin made it crystal clear that when it comes to core interests, ‘no one shall ever expect any compromise or concession from China.’ Anyone testing that bottom line ‘will be dealt a head-on blow’ by a ‘great wall of steel’ forged by the Chinese people. And for those trying to block reunification? Failure will be their fate.

This latest diplomatic tussle underscores the high stakes around the Taiwan region and the sensitive balance in Asia-Pacific politics. Stay tuned for more updates on how this story unfolds!
