China protests to Japan over PM Takaichi’s Taiwan remarks

BEIJING:(Web News) China lodged serious representations and protests to Japan over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent remarks about Taiwan, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday.
Takaichi on Friday told Japanese lawmakers that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could be an “survival-threatening situation” for Japan, the Kyodo news agency reported.
Japanese officials’ attempt to “meddle on cross-strait affairs” would cause serious damage to China-Japan relations, Lin said during a regular press briefing, urging Japan to stop making provocations.
