🚨 China's foreign ministry raised the alarm on November 24, 2025, after Japan deployed offensive weapons near China's Taiwan region. Spokesperson Mao Ning called the move "extremely dangerous" and warned it could spark unwanted military confrontation.
At a daily press briefing, Mao Ning said the deployment seems designed to stir up tension in the Taiwan Strait and push cross-strait ties into a flashpoint. Coupled with recent remarks on Taiwan by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, she stressed the trend is worrying neighbors and the international community alike. 🌏
"Japan's move is to deliberately create regional tensions and instigate military confrontation," Mao said. She added: "The Chinese mainland will never allow Japanese right-wing forces to reverse the course of history, will never allow external forces to interfere in China's Taiwan region, and will never allow Japanese militarism to revive."
In her toughest note yet, Mao Ning underlined that China has both the resolve and the capability to safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Her warning comes amid a backdrop of rising defense activities across the region, as governments balance security needs and diplomatic ties. ⚔️
