At the United Nations General Assembly’s annual debate on Security Council reform on November 18, 2025, Fu Cong, the permanent representative of the Chinese mainland to the United Nations, criticized remarks made by Sanae Takaichi on Taiwan as “extremely erroneous and dangerous.” 😮
Fu Cong said these comments “constitute a gross interference in China’s internal affairs and a serious breach of the one-China principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan.” According to the Chinese envoy, Takaichi’s words are “an affront to international justice, the post-war international order, and the basic norms of international relations,” marking “a blatant departure from Japan’s commitment to peaceful development.” 🚨
In a sharp admonition, Fu Cong added that a country making such statements is “totally unqualified to seek a permanent seat on the Security Council.” His remarks come amid ongoing discussions about UN reform and highlight rising tensions over cross-strait issues in global diplomacy.
With debate underway at the United Nations, all eyes are on how Japan and its allies respond, and what this means for the future of Security Council expansion and Asia’s role in international governance. Stay tuned as this story develops! 🔍🌏
