In a recent press briefing, Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, called on Japan to honor the one-China principle and respect the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan. 🗣️
Guo addressed concerns following the Japanese Ministry of Justice's proposal to revise family law regulations. The proposed changes would allow regions like Taiwan and Palestine to be listed as places of origin, meaning individuals from Taiwan could be officially recorded as coming from Taiwan instead of China in the future. 🌏
Emphasizing that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, Guo stated that residents from both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same Chinese heritage. He reiterated that the Taiwan question is an internal matter for China, welcoming no foreign interference. 🤝
Highlighting Japan's historical responsibilities, Guo reminded that Japan once committed aggression against Taiwan and imposed colonial rule over the island. He urged Japan to handle the Taiwan issue with greater prudence and sensitivity. 📜
\"We urge the Japanese side to abide by the one-China principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan. No gimmicks on the Taiwan question, and do not send any conflicting or wrong signals,\" Guo concluded. ✊
