On November 14th, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a travel advisory: Since the beginning of this year, public security in Japan has been unstable, with frequent criminal cases targeting Chinese citizens. Multiple incidents of attacks on Chinese citizens in Japan have occurred, some of which remain unsolved. The security environment for Chinese citizens in Japan continues to deteriorate.
Recently, Japanese leaders have openly made blatant provocative remarks concerning Taiwan, severely worsening the atmosphere for China-Japan personnel exchanges and posing significant risks to the personal and life safety of Chinese citizens in Japan.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism solemnly reminds Chinese tourists to avoid traveling to Japan in the near future. Chinese tourists already in Japan should pay close attention to the local security situation, enhance their safety awareness, and strengthen self-protection. In case of emergencies, please report to the police promptly and contact the Chinese Embassy or Consulates in Japan for assistance.
It is reported that the China-Japan-ROK Culture Ministers’ Meeting will be postponed. Regarding this, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning stated at the regular press conference on the 20th that Japanese leaders have openly made extremely erroneous remarks concerning Taiwan, hurting the feelings of the Chinese people, challenging the post-war international order, undermining the foundation and atmosphere for China-Japan-ROK trilateral cooperation, resulting in the temporary lack of conditions for holding relevant China-Japan-ROK meetings.
November 20th, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning presided over the regular press conference.
Mao Ning stated that historically, Japan once forcibly occupied Taiwan and carried out colonial rule for half a century. During the Japanese occupation, the people of Taiwan suffered deeply, with hundreds of thousands of compatriots killed, the populace having no political rights, freedom of belief, or cultural freedom, and mineral resources and civilian supplies were plundered wildly. The crimes committed by the Japanese aggressors in Taiwan are too numerous to record, writing the darkest page in Taiwan’s history. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s recovery. Japan should remember that Taiwan is China’s Taiwan. Whether anything happens to Taiwan is simply not Japan’s business. Using Taiwan to create trouble will only bring trouble to Japan.
