Beijing sent a letter to Japanese leaders accusing it of being ready to respond to military aggression.
Beijing has been guided by the leadership's dominance and Japan's willingness to respond to military aggression.
Johannesburg, Sunday - The diplomatic row between China and Japan continues over Taiwan.China has sent a letter to the United Nations criticizing Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takachichi and the duty of self-defense.Japan again criticized the move.
Japanese government spokesperson Mizi Kobayashi changed Japan's position in a letter that changed China's demand in the Taiwan crisis.Then he called for this dialogue so that the two countries are not bad.
"I am aware of the letter. The claim that our country has changed its position is completely baseless," Kobayashi told Bloomberg News on the sidelines of the G20 conference in Johannesburg, South Africa on Saturday (Nov 22, 2025).
The joint declaration of Japan and China in 1972 recognized China as the only legitimate government.The third point of the declaration affirms China and Taiwan as indivisible parts, while Japan respects this position.
"We have repeatedly explained to the Chinese side, our local situation," Kobayashi said, while explaining Tokyo's tolerance towards its neighbors.
Likewise, Japan's foreign affairs ministry said in an email to Reuters Japan's commitment to peace.However, China's claims in the letter are "completely unacceptable".
On November 7, 2025, Takaichi said in front of the Parliament that Beijing's attack on Taiwan would be followed by foreign military measures.Because he considered the situation to be a threat to Japan's security.
The messages sparked outrage in China.Chinese officials threatened Taachi physically.Here he demanded the disclosure of information while cutting a large number of cooperation, including gatherings of Japanese citizens and canceling historic meetings.
The G20 summit in South Africa cannot be a platform for China-Japan reconciliation.Chinese Premier Liqiang has no plans to meet with Takaichi.When taking a group photo on SaturdayThe three of them separated.
China considers Taiwan to be part of its territory.Meanwhile, the Taiwanese government wants its people to determine the island's future.Meanwhile, Japan occupied Taiwan until the end of World War II.
On Friday (21/11/2025), China's UNicic UNic UNic UN Ecumenical Wilidil said the letter of Antonoa Gutono.Beijing is trying to gain international support in its dispute with Japan.
In the letter, Fu said Takaichi committed serious violations of international law, post-war acts of war.Takaichi also violated four documents of the Chinese government and the agreement between China and Japan.
Japan has repeatedly used the excuse of “life-threatening situations” to unleash aggression against other countries, including in 1931, he said.In fact, Tokyo is still campaigning for a false narrative about the reality of World War II, such as paying tribute to its soldiers who committed war crimes.
Fu said: "If Japan attempts armed intervention in the border strait situation, it will be an act of aggression. China will firmly exercise its right of self-defense based on the UN Charter and international law, and firmly protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity."
At the end of his letter, Fu called Japan a country that reflects history.He also asked Takado to honor political commitments on the Taiwan issue.
On the same day, the Chinese Embassy in Japan also posted on X that Beijing reserved the right to take direct military action without the approval of the UN Security Council if Japan took any steps toward renewed aggression.This post quotes the UN Charter article on "enemy states" during World War II, but without further explanation.
Previously, FU said that Japan did not meet the requirements to nominate as a permanent member of the United Nations.He delivered it to the United Nations General Assembly at the United Nations General Assembly on the renewal of the United Nations General Assembly Committee on 18 November 18 205.
Taiwan supports Japan in the Sino-Japanese dispute.This week, Taiwan has shown several pro-Tokyo positions.
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te posted photos on various social media platforms showing him preparing for a lunch of sushi, a typical Japanese dish.Taiwanese Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung urged Taiwanese to visit Japan more often and buy Japanese goods.
Taiwan's support was shown again by banning all restrictions on Japanese food imports.The Taipei government issued a complete ban on food imports from five Japanese regions in and around the peanut production sites of Nukhima and Fukushima in 2011. The government is in effect in 2022 and 2024.
Taiwan's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Friday that the process to ensure the safety of food imports from Japan has returned to normal.The implementation of the new regulation will happen soon.
"Since 2011, Taiwan has tested more than 270,000 batches out of Japan's more than 270,000 test batches, with a failure rate of 0%.
After the departure of Taiwan, this only means controlling the use of special rights of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The Japanese Foreign Ministry welcomed Taiwan's decision.For Tokyo, Taipei's policy will "encourage reconstruction" in Fukushima, which was hit by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. (AFP/Reuters)
