On the morning of December 10, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reporter: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said a few days ago that “there has been no change at all” with regard to China's declaration in the 1972 “Sino-Japanese Joint Declaration” that “Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of the People's Republic of China” and that Japan takes the position of “understanding and respect”; he also said that Japan's basic position on the Taiwan issue is consistent with the “Sino-Japanese Joint Declaration” and that there has been no change. Netizens on the island satirized “Lai Qingde ate Japanese food for nothing.” What comments does the speaker have on this? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Chen Binhua: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated its strict position on this. I would like to emphasize once again that the Taiwan issue is solely China's internal affair, and no outside interference is allowed. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi blatantly made erroneous remarks about Taiwan in the Diet and grossly interfered in China's internal affairs. Faced with questioning and criticism from China and the international community, Takashi only used “no change in position” to pretend. We cannot accept this. Japan should actually reflect and immediately withdraw the erroneous statement. Out of the evil nature of seeking “independence,” Lai Qingde caters to Takaichi's erroneous remarks and completely lost his national position. His act of favoring the Sun was disgusting and wasteful
