Xinhua News Agency, Beijing (Reporters Cao Jiayue, Zhu Chao) Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on the 20th that the Japanese invaders committed countless crimes in Taiwan and wrote the darkest page in Taiwan's history. Japan should remember that Taiwan is China's Taiwan. Whether something happens to Taiwan is not Japan's business at all.
At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: In response to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks that "there is something going on in Taiwan," many Chinese people believe that Japan bears historical culpability on the Taiwan issue and is the party least qualified to talk about "something is going on." What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Mao Ning said that in history, Japan once forcibly occupied Taiwan and carried out colonial rule for half a century. During the Japanese occupation, the people of Taiwan suffered severe disasters. Hundreds of thousands of compatriots were killed. The people had no political rights, freedom of belief, and cultural freedom. Mineral resources and people's livelihood supplies were frantically plundered. The Japanese invaders committed countless crimes in Taiwan and wrote the darkest page in Taiwan's history.
"This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation. Japan should remember that Taiwan is China's Taiwan. Whether anything happens to Taiwan is not Japan's business at all. Using Taiwan to cause trouble will only create trouble for Japan!" Mao Ning said.
